Brief summary (from the registry)
Endometriosis is a condition affecting about 10% of childbearing age women. It can begin a few months to a few years after puberty. It causes abdominal and pelvic pain that can be extremely debilitating, affecting the quality of patients life by affecting sexuality and fertility. Psychological repercussions are very important and underestimated. Patient care focuses most often on the "organ pathology treatment ". This study proposes to evaluate a multidisciplinary patient care by insisting on anatomo-physiological pain management, psychological and bodily, in the perioperative phase. The main objective is to evaluate benefit of psychological and corporal group management on the overall quality of life of patients with severe endometriosis in terms of endometriotic damage and/or functional and painful repercussions, requiring surgery, before or after this study
