Abstract：Endometriosis(EMs)is a benign lesion,but its lesions have diverse morphologies and different depths,and can involve multiple organs.It has a long-term course and is difficult to cure completely.Failure to recognize or completely remove the lesions during surgery is considered the main cause of EMs recurrence.How to locate the lesions during surgery,determine their scope,perform precise resection,and avoid organ damage at the same time is a major challenge for surgeons.As an enhanced visualization technology,near-infrared fluorescence imaging technology can,on the one hand,provide additional real-time visual information during surgery to help surgeons locate the lesion and their scope;On the other hand,it is convenient to use and has high safety.Many scholars have begun to apply it in EMs surgery and have made progress in lesion detection,surgical visualization and navigation,blood supply assessment,and prognosis prediction.This article reviews the application progress of near-infrared fluorescence imaging technology in gynecological EMs surgery.
