A new report indicates that surgery for endometriosis performed by a robot is less effective than the same procedure performed by a surgeon. The mechanically assisted procedure also took longer to complete. Performing this surgery the traditional way can also help keep hospital costs down.
Interesting–maybe surgery, period, is not the right idea.
It carries risks for adhesions, can never totally eliminate the endometrial
implants that are often small and scattered like buckshot throughout the
abdominal cavity.
I think giving high doses of the hormone that suppresses growth of the
endometrium normally, progesterone, might be a far better idea than cutting
or even “medical menopause” with drugs.
