| Main study parameters/endpoints: Investigate the feasibility of identification of endometriotic lesions with (conventional non-robotic) fluorescence laparoscopy equipment with preoperative or peroperative ICG administration. Assessment will be performed using an intraoperative registration form (see attachment), postoperative video-analysis (with determination of the target-to-background ratio) and with histological confirmation. Biopsies will be taken from suspicious endometriotic areas seen with both the conventional white light mode and NIRF-mode, areas that appear only with white light mode or NIRF-mode and areas without any visible or fluorescent areas. Histologic examination is carried out on the biopsies to confirm the diagnosis. | — |
