Altered peritoneal function: Peritoneal fluid from women with endometriosis reportedly contains an ovum capture inhibitor that prevents normal cumulus-fimbria interaction. These alterations may have adverse effects on the oocyte, sperm, embryo or fallopian tube function. Altered hormonal and cell-mediated function: IgG and IgA antibodies and lymphocytes abnormalities in the endometrium may alter endometrial receptivity and embryo implantation. Autoantibodies to endometrial antigens are reported to be increased in some women with endometriosis. Endocrine and ovulatory abnormalities: It has been proposed that women with endometriosis may have endocrine and ovulatory disorders, including the luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome, luteal phase dysfunction, abnormal follicular growth and premature as well as multiple luteinizing hormone (LH) surges. Whereas these hypotheses have been proposed, there is no evidence to validate them. Impaired implantation: Mounting evidence suggests that disorders of endometrial function may contribute to the deceased fecundity observed in women with endometriosis. Reduced endometrial expression of the αvβ integrin (a cell adhesion molecule) during the time of implantation has been described in some women with endometriosis. More recently, very low levels of an enzyme involved in the synthesis of the endometrial ligand for L-section (a protein that coats the trophoblast on the surface of the blastocyst) have been observed in infertile women with endometriosis. These data lend credence to the hypothesis that functional disorders of the endometrium may both predispose to the development of endometriosis and impair implantation mechanisms in affected women.

"Unfortunately, the medical therapies for endometriosis almost exclusively limit reproductive options due to their contraceptive effects."

"Surgical treatment attempts to remove endometrial tissue and preserving the ovaries without damaging normal tissue" is often done through laparoscopic procedure.

Endometriotic or endometrial

Regarding: http://endometriosis.org/treatments/endometriosis-surgery/, your Ref 3

I wish that Ros Wood had not used both endometriotic and endometrial to describe endometriosis. That makes the discussion more complex.

Endometrial-like tissues (endometrium, endometriosis, adenomyosis, endometrioid cancers):

• Endometrial is endometrium in its normal, intrauterine location or as an intermediate stage in retrograde theory before converting into endometriosis. See Sampson, Vigano, and Koninckx discussion below.
• Endometriotic is endometriosis. Endometriosis is also endometrial-like outside the uterus.
• Adenomyosis is endometrium or endometrial-like inside the uterine wall muscle. There is more than one type adenomyosis and the external may be (debatable) more related to endometriosis.
• Endometrioid is used for cancers that have endometrial-like features
• Endometriosis-associated cancers have both endometriosis and cancer separately.

Endometrial might be correct, as an intermediate stage, if you knew that retrograde dissemination of endometrium was the cause. Even then, you would disagree with Sampson (1921) on "misplaced atypical endometrial tissue both in structure and in function," Vigano et al. (2018) who require fibrosis, and Koninckx et al. (2019) who require genetic and epigenetic changes.

More to the point, endometriosis may develop directly from Mullerian remnants, bone-marrow stem cells, peritoneal metaplasia, or other cells of origin with no intermediate endometrial stage.

Since Ros Wood uses both terms, consider using endometriotic, or decide that the reference is not good, and replace it. In the meantime, I have sent a message to Ros Wood to see if they agree with me and want to revise the article.
