If nonsurgical treatments for endometriosis or adenomyosis haven’t worked for you, your doctor might recommend surgery to remove the endometrial tissue that is causing your condition. Our surgeons have experience with the most advanced surgical techniques available for these conditions.

Our gynecologic surgeons perform endometriosis surgery to remove misplaced endometrial tissue from various areas within the body. We can cut this tissue away with a surgical blade or vaporize it with a specialized laser.
We perform surgery to treat endometriosis in two ways: with laparoscopy and through traditional open surgery. Watch the animated video below to see how we perform these two types of surgery.
Laparoscopic endometriosis surgery is a minimally invasive procedure. Your surgeon will make several tiny incisions in your lower abdomen and insert a laparoscope (a thin tube with a video camera and a light) and other tools through these incisions. The surgeon uses images from the laparoscope to see into your pelvic area and remove the endometrial growths.
In open endometriosis surgery, your surgeon will make an incision in your lower abdomen and spread the skin open to reach the areas from which the endometrial growths need to be removed. We don’t often perform open endometriosis surgery.
In certain cases, you and your surgeon may agree that a hysterectomy is the best option for you. Your providers will discuss all the pros and cons of this procedure and answer any questions you might have before you decide.
You might also be a good candidate for endometrial ablation, an alternative to hysterectomy that involves destroying the lining of the uterus. Learn more about endometrial ablation.
It’s important to note that not every woman with endometriosis needs surgery. Learn more about nonsurgical treatments for endometriosis and ways to ease endometriosis pain.
If you’re struggling with adenomyosis and you don’t want any more children, we might recommend a hysterectomy. You likely can keep your ovaries so your hormone levels will stay the same and menopause can occur naturally.
