Keyhole surgery for endometriosis, cysts and fibroids, with excision where indicated.
What is involved
Endometriosis, ovarian cysts, fibroids and adhesions
Keyhole surgery through small incisions, used both to diagnose and to treat. For endometriosis, excision — removing the tissue rather than burning its surface — is what makes a lasting difference, and it is what we do. It is a day case or a single night depending on what is found, and the findings are photographed and gone through with you afterwards.
What the appointment includes
Before you come
Offered for every examination, and yours whether or not you are asked. You may also bring someone of your own.
Without giving a reason. An examination that is not comfortable can be paused or abandoned.
The date your last period started, and roughly how your cycle has been running. It changes what we look for.
Whether we may leave a voicemail, send a text, or write to your GP. All three are your decision.
