A member asked:
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.

GYN oncologist: GYN oncologist always preferable since many complications reported after laparsocopic GYN procedures. Bowel injuries and bleeding during cystectomy reported and often because of unexpected findings procedure has to be converted to an open one. This is especially true in the presence of endometriosis.

Ans: Endometriosis is diagnosed by exploratory surgery. If this is what is expected why would you need an oncologist? The lesion will go to pathologist who will make the diagnosis for you. So if endometriosis you have no need for oncologist/gynecologist. Both are well trained I am sure in the procedure which is straight forward
