Endometriosis Excision Surgery
Comprehensive non-surgical and minimally invasive surgical care to reduce chronic pelvic pain, support fertility and improve quality of life
Signs you might need endometriosis treatment
Endometriosis is a complex condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, often causing significant physical pain. Treatment focuses on reducing symptoms, improving quality of life and supporting reproductive health.
Your healthcare provider may suggest endometriosis excision surgery and medical therapies if you are experiencing:
- Chronic or severe pelvic and lower abdominal pain
- Pain that worsens significantly during menstruation, intercourse, or bowel movements
- Difficulty getting pregnant or unexplained infertility
- Symptoms that no longer respond to medication or hormonal therapy alone
Understanding your treatment options for endometriosis
Navigating your choices for care can feel overwhelming, but knowing exactly what to expect is the first step toward reclaiming your comfort. For many patients, a combination of excision surgery and tailored medical management offers the most effective results. This approach allows your doctor to diagnose the disease and remove the painful lesions at their source.

After the procedure
Most patients can go home the same day and gradually resume their normal activities over the following days to weeks. Your recovery timeline will vary depending on the extent of the disease and the complexity of the surgery.
Since endometriosis is a chronic condition, Dr. Tsai may also recommend ongoing medical therapies to help manage your symptoms and reduce the risk of recurrence.
