The specialist model

Why specialist care matters

Endometriosis is not always limited to the reproductive organs. Deep and complex disease may involve the bowel, bladder, ureters, pelvic sidewall, nerves, or diaphragm.

NICE NG73 supports the specialist-center model, where advanced gynecologic surgeons work alongside colorectal surgery, urology, imaging, pain, nursing, and fertility services.

Common questions

Answers, from real specialists

What is endometriosis?
Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. It can cause pain, inflammation, adhesions, infertility, bowel or bladder symptoms, and reduced quality of life.
How is endometriosis diagnosed?
Diagnosis may involve symptom review, medical history, pelvic examination, ultrasound, MRI, and in some cases laparoscopy with tissue sampling for histologic confirmation.
Can MRI diagnose endometriosis?
MRI can help identify certain types of endometriosis, especially deep infiltrating disease, endometriomas, and organ involvement. Accuracy depends heavily on the imaging protocol and expert interpretation.
Is laparoscopy still needed?
Laparoscopy may be needed when imaging is inconclusive, when symptoms are severe, or when tissue confirmation and treatment are required. The decision depends on the individual case.
What is excision surgery?
Excision surgery removes endometriosis lesions as tissue, rather than only burning the surface. This allows pathology confirmation and may reduce persistent disease when performed by experienced surgeons.
Is excision a cure?
No. Endometriosis is a chronic condition. Excision is designed to remove visible disease and improve outcomes, but no treatment can guarantee cure, permanent relief, or prevention of recurrence.
