Italian term or phrase: laparoscopia con diagnosi di PID e annessiectomia dx EI negativo
I am translating the report of a patient affected by cancer. I cant figure what the achronysm "PID" stands for.

I was thinking of "Pronto Intervento Diagnostico" but it doesnt seem to fit the sentence

Thanks in advance!

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
Explanation:
It should stand for the English acronym Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, Malattia Infiammatoria Pelvica. I am not 100% sure, though.

agree  Joseph Tein: Since we're talking about adnexectomy (excision of the uterine tube and ovary) you're in the right area of the body when you suggest PID.

You'll also need to translate the acronym EI ... you'll find it in Acromed as well.
