Who is a good candidate for robotic endometriosis surgery?

Topic:Surgery
Affected areas:pelvicbowelbladder

Robotic-assisted endometriosis surgery can be a good fit when we anticipate complex, deep disease or the need for precise dissection around sensitive anatomy. It’s often considered when endometriosis may involve the bowel, bladder, or ureters, or when reconstruction could be part of the plan.


Candidacy is highly individualized. In our practice, we base the decision on preoperative disease mapping (including imaging when appropriate), your surgical goals, and what approach allows us to remove disease thoroughly and safely. If you’re wondering whether robotics makes sense for your case, our team can review your history and imaging and walk you through the pros and cons for your specific anatomy and symptoms.
