Endometriosis Surgery in Central London
Laparoscopic endometriosis excision at LSDC Healthcare is performed by consultant gynaecological surgeons with advanced expertise in complex pelvic surgery and endometriosis management.
We provide true excisional surgery, removing endometriotic disease at its root, rather than superficial ablation, with careful preservation of reproductive organs and surrounding structures.
All care is delivered in a private, consultant-led environment in the City of London, with multidisciplinary input where bowel, bladder, or ureteric involvement is suspected.
What is Laparoscopic Endometriosis Excision?
Laparoscopic endometriosis excision is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that removes endometriotic implants, nodules, and adhesions using keyhole surgery.
Unlike burning or coagulation techniques, excision:
Removes disease completely rather than suppressing it
Allows histological confirmation
Reduces recurrence risk
Improves pain outcomes and fertility potential
The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia using small abdominal incisions.
Who is This Procedure For?
Laparoscopic excision may be recommended for women with:
Confirmed or suspected endometriosis
Chronic pelvic pain or cyclical pain
Painful periods (dysmenorrhoea)
Pain during intercourse (dyspareunia)
Bowel or bladder symptoms linked to the menstrual cycle
Subfertility or infertility associated with endometriosis
Inadequate response to medical or hormonal therapy
Suitability is confirmed following consultant assessment and imaging.

FAQ — Laparoscopic Endometriosis Excision
What is the difference between excision and ablation?
Excision removes endometriosis completely, including deeper tissue, while ablation only burns the surface and may leave disease behind.
Will surgery cure endometriosis?
Surgery can significantly reduce symptoms and disease burden, but endometriosis is a chronic condition that requires ongoing management.
Can this surgery improve fertility?
Yes. In selected patients, excisional surgery may improve fertility outcomes by restoring pelvic anatomy.
How long is recovery?
Most patients return to light activities within 1–2 weeks, with full recovery by 4–6 weeks.
Will I still need hormonal treatment after surgery?
Some patients benefit from ongoing hormonal therapy to reduce recurrence risk, depending on symptoms and fertility plans.
Is endometriosis surgery covered by private insurance?
Yes. Excisional surgery is usually covered by UK private medical insurers, subject to policy terms and authorisation.
