Endometriosis Surgery
Removing Endometriosis to Relieve Pain and Improve Fertility
Endometriosis surgery is a specialized procedure designed to remove endometrial-like tissue growing outside the uterus, which can cause chronic pain, heavy periods, and infertility. This surgery aims to relieve symptoms, restore reproductive function, and enhance the quality of life.
Who Can Benefit from Endometriosis Surgery?
- Experience chronic pelvic pain or painful periods (dysmenorrhea) unrelieved by medication.
- Have endometriosis-related infertility affecting natural conception.
- Suffer from pain during intercourse (dyspareunia) or bowel movements.
- Have endometriotic cysts (endometriomas) in the ovaries.
- Have severe endometriosis (stage 3 or 4) that impacts surrounding organs.
Types of Endometriosis Surgery
- Laparoscopic Endometriosis Excision (Minimally Invasive)
- A laparoscope (tiny camera) is inserted through small incisions.
- Endometrial tissue is precisely excised (cut out) without damaging healthy structures.
- Ideal for mild to moderate endometriosis with quick recovery and minimal scarring.
- Ablative Surgery (Burning or Laser Removal)
- Endometrial implants are burned off using laser or cautery.
- Less effective than excision, as deeper lesions may not be completely removed.
- Laparotomy (Open Surgery) – For Severe Cases
- Required for extensive endometriosis affecting the bowel, bladder, or other organs.
- Larger abdominal incision provides better access to deeply infiltrated endometriotic tissue.
- Hysterectomy (For Severe, Non-Treatable Endometriosis)
- Involves the removal of the uterus, with or without ovaries.
- Considered when all other treatments have failed, and symptoms are severe.
How is Endometriosis Surgery Performed?
- Pre-Surgical Evaluation
- Pelvic ultrasound or MRI to assess the severity and location of endometrial lesions.
- Hormonal and fertility assessments if pregnancy is a concern.
- Discussion of fertility-preserving techniques if needed.
- Surgical Procedure
- Anesthesia is administered to ensure a pain-free experience.
- Endometriosis lesions are removed or destroyed based on the severity.
- Any adhesions or scar tissue affecting organ movement are released.
- Post-Surgery Recovery & Follow-Up
- Laparoscopic Recovery: 1-2 weeks with mild discomfort.
- Laparotomy Recovery: 4-6 weeks depending on surgical complexity.
- Hormonal therapy may be recommended post-surgery to prevent recurrence.
- Follow-up evaluations ensure effective symptom relief and fertility support.
