Excision surgery for endometriosis is the BEST way...

Excision surgery by a surgeon, who specializes in endometriosis, is the BEST way for a surgeon to attempt to rid a woman's body of endometriosis. Even so endometriosis can reappear years later. This is something which both adhesions and endometriosis have in common! Both adhesions and endometriosis are considered to be incurable diseases.

Endometriosis can cause back pain and leg pain as well as other symptoms, which adhesions are also known to cause! Endometriosis is an Adhesion-Related-Disease ( ARD ) - because of the scarring, which occurs monthly as a result of the internal bleeding that takes place via endometrial implants. Since there is no way for the resulting blood to exit the abdomen, this blood sticks to the internal organs...causing body organs to stick to one another.

There is only one way to diagnose both adhesions and endometriosis...a diagnostic laparoscopy, which is also a surgical procedure. If all of your diagnostic tests have been negative or normal and you continue to experience pain, you could very likely have either or both of these adhesions-related diseases ( ARD ).

Once a person with endometriosis has had surgery - and the surgeon has NOT surgically removed EVERY trace of endometriosis - any remaining endometriosis can become buried deep beneath the scarring from adhesions. In order for the surgeon to remove any remaining endometriosis at a subsequent surgery, the surgeon needs to use laparoscopic microscopic techniques in order to get below the scarring ( left by adhesions from the previous surgery ).

Then it is necessary for the surgeon to excise ( cut ) every minute trace of endometrial scarring remaining from the prior surgery...including having this tissue examined by a pathologist - at the same time the surgery is being done - in order to be sure that there is no further evidence of endometriosis.

When endometrial implants are found on the bowels, ureters, in the cul-de-sac, etc, NOT every surgeon wants to take the amount of time necessary to do a thorough clean-up...nor does every surgeon want to face the very real possibility of injuring any of these vital organs. So a victim of endometriosis goes through the same heartaches that a person with adhesions does. The endometriosis will return, if not completely excised and cleaned-up during the surgical procedure.
