| Laparoscopic Surgery For Endometriosis |
| 2009-10-15 10:02:00 |
Partial HysterectomyLaparoscopy is the most common procedure used to diagnose and remove mild to moderate endometriosis. Instead of using a large abdominal incision, the surgeon inserts a lighted viewing instrument called a laparoscope through a small incision. If the surgeon needs better access, he or she makes one or two more small incisions for inserting other surgical instruments.For a laparoscopy, the abdomen is inflated with gas (carbon dioxide or nitrous oxide). The gas, which is injected with a needle, pushes the abdominal wall away from the organs so that the surgeon can see them clearly. The surgeon then inserts a laparoscope through a small incision and examines the internal organs. Additional incisions may be used to insert instruments to move internal organs and structures for...

| Endometriosis Recur After a Total Hysterectomy (Partial Hysterectomy) |
| 2009-10-02 10:30:00 |
Partial HysterectomyIn endometriosis, the endometrial cells grow over the fallopian tubes, ovaries or the tissue lining the pelvis. So, if a partial or subtotal hysterectomy is done, only the uterus is removed, leaving the ovaries, fallopian tubes and cervix. The endometrial cells requires estrogen to prevail. Ovaries produce estrogen which influences the endometrial cells outside the uterus. That is why even after a partial hysterectomy, endometriosis can recur, rather it remains, with same symptoms as before the hysterectomy surgery, specially during ovulation. A total hysterectomy also does not remove the ovaries hence, there are chances of endometriosis recurring. However, if both the ovaries are removed, it minimizes endometriosis recurrence, since the source of estrogen i.e. the ovar...
