A member asked:

My dr doesn't think i have endometriosis but wants to do a laproscopy. risks of this surgery? how can i be sure i have an experienced surgeon for this

Ask your doctor: Your doctor should explain all of the possible risks of doing this type of surgery and have you sign a pre-op consent form, that is called informed consent and is the standard of care, you can ask your doctor how many laparoscopies he or she has done and how many laparoscopies he or she has done for endometriosis.

The op note from my laparoscopy says there were endometriosis implants along the posterior vaginal wall and overlying the lower posterior cervix. Could these have been visible on exam prior to surgery? None of the doctors I saw ever mentioned it.

A member asked:

I had a laparoscopy to check for endometriosis. During surgery they checked liver and said it had smooth edge. Would laparoscopy rule out any liver disease or scarring from cirrhosis? Only moderate drinking now, but used to social drink on weekends?
