What the procedure involves
Laparoscopic Treatment of Endometriosis at London Gynaecology Clinic is performed under general anaesthetic and usually as a day-case procedure, although some people may stay overnight. Several small incisions are made in your abdomen, allowing us to insert a camera and specialised instruments. We thoroughly inspect your pelvic organs and carefully identify areas of endometriosis.
Using precise techniques, endometriosis deposits are excised (surgically cut out) or ablated (destroyed with heat or laser). For ovarian cysts related to endometriosis (endometriomas), we may undertake a laparoscopic cystectomy, removing the cyst while preserving as much healthy ovarian tissue as possible. Pelvic adhesions, which can cause pain and interfere with fertility, are released to restore normal anatomy wherever feasible.
Our approach is shaped by your symptoms, goals and fertility plans. All procedures are led by an expert consultant in advanced laparoscopic surgery, aiming for complete treatment with minimal trauma and enhanced recovery. As a centre dedicated to personalised gynaecological care, London Gynaecology Clinic is committed to clear communication, patient dignity and long-term wellbeing throughout.
Why it is done
Laparoscopic Treatment of Endometriosis is recommended for women suffering from severe or persistent pelvic pain, painful periods, pain during intercourse, infertility, or endometriosis-related ovarian cysts. Early and effective management from an endometriosis specialist can reduce symptoms, improve fertility and protect pelvic health.
