It is sometimes possible to perform the surgical treatment during a
diagnostic examination. During laparoscopy, the surgeon removes the visible endometriosis sites as carefully
and as completely
as possible without harming the healthy tissues and the intact, neighbouring organs. Laparoscopy is a precise and delicate microsurgical
method which is often used in combination with special techniques such as laser. This precise, meticulous, microsurgical technique,
which often makes use of laser technology, can only be performed by a skilful and well-trained gynaecologist. In
rare cases, if the symptoms are severe, if the couple do not want any more children and if all other possibilities have been exhausted,
surgical removal of the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries should be considered. |
