Laparoscopic Conservative Surgery for Endometriosis

What is endometriosis?

The inner lining of the uterus is known as the endometrium. During a menstrual period, the lining of the endometrium is shed through the vagina. In endometriosis, sections of endometrium develop in spots other than the inner lining of the uterus. These spots may develop on the ovaries, or sometimes on the fallopian tubes, the vagina, the peritoneum, or the intestine.

Most women find out about their diagnosis of endometriosis when they note pelvic pain or serious menstrual spasms. Endometriosis can likewise make it hard for a woman to become pregnant.

It is largely accepted that laparoscopic surgery is the main definitive approach to analyse endometriosis. In many cases, the disease can be confirmed and treated in the same surgery. The success of surgery depends greatly on the skill of the specialist and the thoroughness of the surgery. The point is to remove all endometriosis lesions, cysts, and adhesions. Today, most endometriosis surgery is being done through the laparoscope, despite the fact that a full stomach entry point called a laparotomy may in any case be required in uncommon cases for extensive endometriosis or bowel resections.

The latest evidence have demonstrated that endometriosis recurs at a rate of 20% to 40% within five years following surgical procedure.
