THE OPERATION
The operations we do, and when we don't.
Complete excision is the operation this practice is built around. These pages explain what each procedure involves, and are honest about the cases where surgery is not the answer.
01
Excision surgery
Never ablationEvery lesion removed at full depth with margins, including bowel, bladder, ureters and diaphragm.
02
Hysterectomy
For adenomyosisRemoval of the uterus, where that is the right treatment. Most often for adenomyosis, rather than for endometriosis alone.
03
Second-look surgery
After surgery elsewhereRe-operation after incomplete surgery elsewhere. Bring your operative reports and we'll tell you honestly what we see.
04
Diagnostic laparoscopy
Rarely necessaryA look inside without treatment. We do very few of these, because a careful history usually makes the diagnosis.
