Overview
Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with endometriosis. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with failed medical therapy and patients with stage 3 or stage 4 disease.
Surgery
Surgical therapy for endometriosis can be conservative or definitive based on the patient's presentation.[1]
- Conservative therapy:
- It is preferred in young women who desire to get pregnant and in patients with no improvement of pain with medical therapy.
- Surgery includes removal of the endometrial lesions with excision of the destruction of the lesion by laser or electrocautery.
- Laparoscopic uterosacral nerve ablation or laparoscopic presacral neurectomy can be done for chronic pelvic pain.[2]
- Definitive surgery:
- It is preferred in patients after child bearing age and elderly women or women with ureteral or bowel obstruction.[3]
- Definitive surgery preferred is a total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.
