Article Synopsis
- Laparoscopy is commonly used to investigate pelvic pain, but many patients end up with no clear diagnosis, leading to unmet expectations and emotional distress.
- A study involving interviews with 15 patients revealed themes such as the desire for diagnosis, hope as a coping mechanism, and challenges with communication and mental health post-procedure.
- The findings stress the need for effective pre- and postoperative counseling from clinicians to better prepare patients for the possibility of inconclusive results and to address their mental health concerns.

The experience-description gap and the role of the inter decision interval.
Prog Brain Res
November 2013
Previous research highlights four distinct contributors to the experience-description gap (the observation that people exhibit oversensitivity to rare events in decisions from description and the opposite bias in decisions from experience). These contributors include the nature of small samples, the mere presentation effect, the belief that the environment is dynamic, and overgeneralization from decisions based on estimated risks. This chapter reviews this research and highlights the role of a fifth contributor to the experience-description gap.
