Can endometriosis come back after being treated by laser surgery?

Yes: Unfortunately, Endometriosis can come back after laser surgery or just about any type of surgical or non-surgical treatment. Best wishes!

Possibly: It is not so much that endometriosis that has been eradicated by laser surgery comes back, but that foci of endometriosis that may have been impossible to detect at the time of surgery flare up.
