Gynecological surgery for endometriosis:
a lever for relieving pain and preserving fertility

In some cases of endometriosis, particularly when the disease is deep-rooted or extensive, gynecological surgery can become an essential step in treatment.
The aim is to reduce pain, preserve organs and, in some cases, promote pregnancy.

When
consider

gynecological
surgery?

Gynecological surgery may be indicated in the following cases:

  • Intense pelvic pain not relieved by medical treatment
  • Deep endometriosis infiltrating the utero-sacral ligaments, ovaries or rectum
  • Presence of ovarian cysts (endometriomas)
  • Infertility associated with severe endometriotic lesions

The aim is never to systematically remove lesions, but toact when quality of life or fertility is threatened.

Is it always necessary to operate?

No. In many cases, well-adapted medical treatment is sufficient to stabilize the disease. Surgery is considered only when :
  • Too much pain
  • Fertility is at stake
  • Lesions can cause lasting damage to certain organs
A personalized assessment allows you to choosing the best option for each patientwith or without surgery.
