What is endometriosis excision surgery?

Topic:Surgery
Affected areas:pelvicbowelbladder

Excision surgery is a surgical technique that removes endometriosis lesions by cutting them out at their roots, rather than simply burning or cauterizing the surface. The goal is to fully remove visible disease while preserving healthy tissue and restoring normal anatomy as much as possible.


At Lotus Endometriosis & Uterine Health Institute, our team performs minimally invasive excision using advanced technology to help us work precisely, including in deep or complex areas. We plan surgery carefully to protect structures like the bladder, bowel, and ureters, since endometriosis can involve or scar around these organs. If you’re considering surgery, we welcome you to reach out to our team to discuss whether excision is appropriate for your symptoms and goals.
