Luann is a 42-year-old woman who was diagnosed with endometriosis approximately five years ago. She was treated conservatively since the diagnosis, but has had continuing pelvic and lower back pain, hematuria, dyspareunia, abdominal pain and cramping.

Besides the endometriosis, Luann has a PMH of hypertension, GERD, and hyperthyroidism. She successfully underwent the TAH/BSO and was discharged the fourth post-operative day with instructions on wound care.
