Understanding Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a chronic condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterus, typically on the pelvic organs such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and pelvic peritoneum. This condition can cause a range of symptoms, including pelvic pain, painful periods, painful intercourse, and infertility, impacting your quality of life and overall well-being.
Our Approach to Endometriosis Care
Dr Lauren offers comprehensive laparoscopic surgery services for the excision of endometriosis, including:
- Diagnostic Laparoscopy: Dr Lauren performs diagnostic laparoscopy to visualize and evaluate the pelvic organs for the presence of endometriosis. This minimally invasive procedure allows for direct visualization of endometrial implants, adhesions, and other abnormalities, enabling accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
- Laparoscopic Excision of Endometriosis: For women diagnosed with endometriosis, Dr Lauren specializes in laparoscopic excision surgery to remove endometrial implants, scar tissue, and adhesions from the pelvic organs. This meticulous approach targets and removes endometriosis lesions while preserving healthy tissue, minimizing the risk of recurrence, and optimizing long-term outcomes.
- Fertility-Preserving Techniques: When performing laparoscopic excision of endometriosis, Dr Lauren prioritizes fertility preservation whenever possible. By carefully excising endometrial implants and preserving healthy ovarian tissue, fallopian tubes, and reproductive organs, we aim to improve fertility potential and maximize the chances of successful conception for women desiring pregnancy.
Benefits of Laparoscopic Endometriosis Excision
- Minimally Invasive: Laparoscopic surgery involves small incisions, resulting in less postoperative pain, reduced scarring, and faster recovery times compared to open surgery.
- Precise Treatment: Laparoscopic excision allows for precise removal of endometriosis lesions, scar tissue, and adhesions, resulting in improved symptom relief and better long-term outcomes.
- Fertility Preservation: By preserving healthy ovarian tissue and reproductive organs, laparoscopic excision of endometriosis can help improve fertility potential and increase the likelihood of successful conception for women desiring pregnancy.
