Curious about what to expect from endometriosis surgery?
Following consultation with the endometriosis community, we’re pleased to launch our new video that answers questions about surgery and what to expect.
In this video, speakers discuss how to prepare, what happens during, what to expect in recovery and more. We also cover information on robotic-assisted surgery. Robotic-assisted surgery is becoming more common, though it is not available or suitable for everyone.
Thank you to our speakers for taking part in the recording of this video:
Emma Cox, CEO at Endometriosis UK
Dr Manou Manpreet Kaur, Consultant Gynaecologist
Claudia Tye, Gynaecology and Endometriosis Clinical Nurse Specialist
Elaine Remy, Support Group Leader for Cumbria
