Endometriosis Surgery

Targeted Relief from Pain, with a Focus on Fertility and Quality of Life

Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women and can cause chronic pelvic pain, painful periods, bowel or bladder symptoms, and difficulties with fertility. While medical management helps many women, surgery may be needed to remove endometrial deposits and restore normal anatomy. Dr. Affie Tourani offers advanced laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery for endometriosis with a patient-first, fertility-conscious approach.

When Is Surgery Recommended?

Surgery may be suggested if:

  • You have persistent or severe symptoms despite medication

  • There’s suspicion of deep or advanced endometriosis

  • You have an ovarian endometrioma (endometriosis cyst)

  • Fertility is affected and you wish to conceive

  • You want a clear diagnosis or wish to avoid long-term hormone use

Laparoscopic Excision of Endometriosis

Dr. Tourani performs laparoscopic excision surgery, which involves:

  • Carefully identifying all visible endometriosis lesions

  • Removing (not just burning) the affected tissue to reduce recurrence

  • Releasing adhesions to restore normal organ movement

  • Preserving healthy ovarian and reproductive tissue whenever possible

This technique is considered the gold standard in surgical treatment and is especially important for fertility preservation.

  • Follow-up includes ongoing symptom management and fertility planning
