Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a painful chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterine cavity, commonly affecting the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and pelvic lining. This misplaced tissue behaves like normal endometrial tissue—thickening, breaking down, and bleeding with each menstrual cycle. Because it has no way to exit the body, it leads to inflammation, severe menstrual cramps, deep pelvic pain, and often, fertility challenges due to pelvic adhesions or scar tissue.
At Nova IVF, we perform Laparoscopic Excision of Endometriosis, a highly specialized, minimally invasive surgery. Using a laparoscope with a high-definition camera, our surgeons visualize and precisely remove (excise) endometrial implants, cysts (chocolate cysts), and adhesions. This surgical technique is the gold standard for restoring normal pelvic anatomy and relieving pain. Since it is performed through tiny incisions, it ensures significant patient benefits: minimal discomfort, faster recovery to work, less risk of infection, and enhanced chances of future natural or assisted conception.
Key Advantages of Endometriosis Surgery:
- Targeted Excision — precisely removes abnormal tissue while preserving healthy surrounding ovarian and pelvic tissues.
- Fertility Restoration — clears pelvic adhesions and blocks to restore healthy pelvic anatomy, significantly improving conception success.
- Pain Relief — provides effective and long-lasting relief from severe menstrual cramps, intercourse pain, and chronic pelvic pain.
- Minimally Invasive — performed via microscopic keyhole incisions, resulting in less pain, minimal bleeding, and minor cosmetic scarring.
- Rapid Recovery — most patients are discharged within 24 hours and resume normal daily activities within 1 to 2 weeks.
