Laparoscopic and endometriosis


Endometriosis is something that can’t always be seen with the naked eye. During the surgery the surgeon may take a biopsy and have it sent to a lab if they suspect you may have endometriosis.

If endometriosis or scar tissue needs to be removed, your surgeon will use one of various techniques, including cutting and removing tissue (excision) or destroying it with a laser beam or electric current (electrocautery).” (http://www.webmd.com/infertility-and-reproduction/guide/laparoscopic-surgery-for-endometriosis)
Here is a picture of what endometriosis looks like during the surgery:
