Diagnostic laparoscopy
A look inside without treatment. We do very few of these, because a careful history usually makes the diagnosis.
The idea that endometriosis can only be diagnosed surgically is outdated, and it has cost a great many patients years and operations. A thorough history and examination usually reaches a clinical diagnosis. When we do operate, the intention is to treat what we find in the same sitting.
Prototype content. This page proves the shape. The clinical copy needs writing and reviewing by a surgeon before publication, and should be bylined to a named surgeon.
What it involves
Placeholder: the operative approach, roughly how long it takes, whether it is day-case or an overnight stay, and what the recovery looks like week by week.
When it's the right operation — and when it isn't

Questions patients ask us
- Do I need surgery just to get a diagnosis?
- What will you do if you find disease while you're in there?
Recovery and follow-up
Structured post-operative care, direct access to the team, and help with FMLA paperwork. Our follow-up is measured in years rather than weeks — most surgical practices never see their long-term results, and we would rather know ours.
