Endometriosis Surgeon Questionnaire

What percentage of your patients have endometriosis?
95
Do you practice obstetrics?
No
In 40 words or less, how do you treat endometriosis? How do you approach adhesions?
Thorough excision of endometriosis is essential. Removing macroscopic and microscopic disease provides the best possibility for long-term improvement. Patient autonomy and shared decision making are key.
If you excise endometriosis, what is your goal for a sufficient margin size? If you use other methods of removing or destroying endometriosis, how do you approach this and under which circumstances?
Wide margins with mentality similar to treating malignancy.
On the scale of 1 (less experienced (I rarely treat/ mostly refer out)) to 5 (extremely experienced (the majority of my cases)) how would you rate your current experience level and comfort with stage 3/4 endometriosis and complex cases?
5
What is your opinion regarding GnRH agonists and antagonists? What is your opinion regarding hysterectomies?
Medical management is very personalized and not a one size fits all. I rarely use GnRH agonists or antagonists.

Hysterectomy is an excellent option for some individuals suffering from uterine pain or bleeding issues that have not been managed with other options. Hysterectomy is not a treatment for endometriosis.
What is your opinion on using Robotics (ie DaVinci) for the treatment of endometriosis? Do you use it?
I prefer the robot for treatment of endometriosis and do routinely use this tool.
Do you work with and/or refer patients to other healthcare providers? If so, which types (e.g. physical therapists, nutritionists, etc.) ?
We have a large multidisciplinary team including surgeons, medical gynecologists, radiologists, pelvic floor PTs, pain psychologists, interventional radiology, gastroenterology, integrative medicine, acupuncture, etc.
How do you approach the following: bowel cases, urinary cases, thoracic cases and any other extragenital cases?
Thorough and complete excision that is individualized to each patient that may involve additional surgical specialists if disease warrants (cadiothoracic surgeon, gynecologic oncology, surgical oncology, urology, etc).
Do you have any studies, talks, or publications you'd like to share?
Yes
