Endometriosis Surgery

Endometriosis is a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. It can cause severe pain in the pelvis and make it harder to get pregnant

Endometriosis can start at a person’s first menstrual period and last until menopause.

With endometriosis, tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. This leads to inflammation and scar tissue forming in the pelvic region and (rarely) elsewhere in the body.

The cause of endometriosis is unknown. There is no known way to prevent endometriosis. There is no cure, but its symptoms can be treated with medicines or, in some cases, surgery.

Procedure Types

1.Laparoscopic Surgery: This minimally invasive procedure is the gold standard for diagnosing and treating endometriosis. It involves making small incisions in the abdomen and using a laparoscope (a thin, lighted tube) to view and remove endometrial implants, cysts, and adhesions. The surgeon may use techniques such as excision (cutting out the endometrial tissue) or ablation (destroying the tissue using heat or laser).

2.Laparotomy: In rare and severe cases, an open abdominal surgery (laparotomy) may be necessary. This involves a larger incision and is typically reserved for extensive disease or when laparoscopic surgery is not feasible.

Benefits

• Alleviates symptoms such as chronic pelvic pain, painful periods, and pain during intercourse.

• Improves fertility in women experiencing infertility due to endometriosis.

• Provides a definitive diagnosis and allows for the removal of endometrial implants and adhesions.
