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 classified as conservative or definitive based on the presentation of the patient.[1]
- Conservative therapy:
- Conservative therapy is preferred in young women who desire to get pregnant and in patients with no improvement of pain after pharmacological treatment.
- Surgery includes removal of the endometrial lesions with excision and destruction of the lesion by laser or electrocautery.
- Laparoscopic uterosacral nerve ablation or laparoscopic pre sacral neurectomy can be done for chronic pelvic pain.[2]
- Definitive surgery:
- Definitive surgery is preferred in patients after child bearing age and in elderly women or women with ureteral or bowel obstruction.[3]
- The peferred definitive surgery is a total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.
