Abstract

The quality of endometriosis surgery performed by a Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgeon (MIGS) is significantly different from that of a general gynecologist. Their training offers them the experience to detect subtle endometriosis, excise deeply infiltrative endometriosis, manage extra pelvic endometriosis and restore normal anatomy in stage 4 endometriosis. They are able to preserve fertility in an endometriosis patient if patient desires fertility. They are also able to address or excise endometriosis when performing concurrent hysterectomy, instead of disregarding it.
