A member asked:
During laparoscopic procedures for suspected endometriosis are tissue biopsies taken, and how frequently? have pathological findings been reported?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Endometriosis on bio: Many biopsies are done for endometriosis but it is difficult to find it on biopsy yet the patient still has clinical endometriosis. Biopsies of several site help increase the finding on these biopsies as positive for endometriosis. Sometimes there's repaired of changes from the endometriosis such as old bleeding and stromal repair. The clinician does not always need a biopsy to prove endometriosis

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.
