What does laparoscopic endometriosis excision involve?

This is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed under general anesthesia. Through small abdominal incisions, a laparoscope (camera) and specialized instruments are inserted to identify and completely remove endometriotic implants, adhesions, and ovarian endometriomas (chocolate cysts). The goal is to excise all visible disease while preserving healthy ovarian tissue and reproductive organs. The procedure typically takes 1–3 hours, and patients stay in the hospital for 3–5 days for monitoring and pain management.
