      Endometriosis is the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, which is normally found on the inner wall of the uterus. It is possible to occur in every individual from reproductive age to menopause. Endometriosis can cause pelvic and lower back pain and difficulty in getting pregnant, affecting individuals' daily lives. In this case, surgical intervention is recommended.

      There are two ways to perform this surgery: laparoscopic (closed) and open surgery. Generally, the decision is made according to the condition of the patients and endometriosis. This operation, performed under general anesthesia, may take between 60 to 90 minutes.

      Who Are The Eligible Candidates For Endometriosis Surgery?

      Endometriosis can affect any individual from reproductive age to menopause. It is usually seen in the ovaries, peritoneum, front, back and side parts of the uterus and previous surgical incisions.

      Symptoms of endometriosis include severe menstrual pain, persistent pelvic pain, pain during defecation, bleeding and pain during urination, constipation, pain during sexual intercourse, feeling constantly tired, depression and difficulty in getting pregnant (infertility).

      Individuals with these conditions are deemed suitable for surgery after medical evaluations.

      How Is Endometriosis Surgery Performed?

      Depending on the progression of endometriosis and the area where it is located, the surgery method is applied as laparoscopic (closed) or open. This surgery, which lasts between 60 and 90 minutes, is performed under general surgery.

      PREPARATION

      It is important for individuals with severe symptoms to first undergo a physical examination. Surgery is planned according to the physical examination. Before the surgery, some pre-operative tests are performed such as learning the patient's anamnesis, pregnancy test, tumor markers, hormone tests and other blood tests, X-ray, ECG (Electrocardiography) and anesthesia consultation. In some cases, the doctor may request General Surgery, Urology, Gastroenterology and Psychologist consultations.

      ANESTHESIA

      This surgery is performed under the general anesthesia which is numbing the whole body and put patient to sleep.

      ENDOMETRIOSIS SURGERY TECHNIQUES

      It is applied with one of two methods, open or closed (laparoscopic), depending on the area and severity of endometriosis.
      Laparoscopic method is performed in cases where cysts are 4 to 5 cm, cause severe pain and carry the risk of cancer. The 3 or 4 holes which are 10 mm diameter incisions are made in the lower abdomen. The laparoscope (thin tube with a camera at the end) and other surgical tools are inserted through the incisions. Cysts are cleaned from the area where they are located and removed through the incisions. After the procedures are completed, the incisions are stitched and the surgery is completed.
      The open method is preferred if the cysts are larger than 5 cm and are located in areas that cannot be reached with a laparoscope. Usually, an incision is made in the bikini area or an incision is made from the navel down to the abdomen. In this method, which takes longer than the other method, cysts are cleaned from their location and removed through the incision. After the cysts are cleaned, stitches are applied and the surgery is completed.

      Recovery From Endometriosis Surgery In Turkey

      After both methods, patients stay in the hospital for 1 or 2 nights.

      While the recovery period in the laparoscopic method is 1 to 2 weeks, it takes up to 1 month in the open surgery method. After both surgeries, it is important to keep the incisions clean and dry. Generally, dissolvable stitches are used, but in cases where dissolvable stitches are not used, the stitches must be removed on the date recommended by the doctor.

      Sexual intercourse and lifting heavy objects are not recommended for 2 weeks after the closed method and for 1 month after the open surgery.

      Patients are advised to get plenty of rest and move in a way that does not tire them out.
