A member asked:
What to do if i have an appointment to see if i have endometriosis. if i do have it, will they do a laparotomy on me even though im not ttc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Laparoscopy: An expert in endometriosis treatment will be a specialist in minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery. I make the majority of my practice out of endometriosis care, and do not find a laparotomy to be an advantage in almost anything I do. Laparoscopic surgery can be used to resect/remove endometriosis, which leads to the longest term benefit for the condition.

Should I trust a regular OB GYN to do a Laparoscopic Cystectomy on an 8.4 and 4 cm hypoechoic cystic lesion? Or should I have a gynecologic oncologist do a Laparatomy? Both suspect endometriomas/endometriosis but have different surgery suggestions.
