Ask an Endo Surgeon | What Do I Look for During Endometriosis Excision Surgery?

Dr. McHale explains that while we, of course, are looking for endometriosis during surgery, we are also looking for any abnormalities and other problems that may be causing pain within the pelvic floor so that we can fully explain to our patients what is causing their pain and how we can help them heal. Dr. Melissa McHale, M.D., is a Gynecologic Surgeon and Endometriosis Excision Specialist. She has performed over 300 complex excision of endometriosis cases and she has extensive experience with sacral neuromodulator implants, transvaginal ultrasound diagnostics, and the management of pain and fertility in endometriosis patients. Dr. McHale completed her OB/GYN residency at Johns Hopkins before completing a two-year fellowship with Dr. Andrea Vidali, a world-renowned surgeon specializing in endometriosis, miscarriage, and reproductive immunology at Braverman Reproductive Immunology and Endometriosis Surgery. At Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine™, we believe that the millions of women and men who suffer from pelvic pain should have access to care that provides relief. We don’t believe “a glass of wine will fix it” or that “it’s all in your head”. We will never abandon you – and from leadership to the front office to every pelvic pain specialist you meet, so much of our team has been in your shoes and believes the pelvic pain patient deserves better. This belief is what unifies us all at PRM. Since 2017, PRM has provided an innovative solution to a health crisis that affects 15% of women and 10% of men. Persistent pelvic pain is often overlooked, untreated, and misguided. At PRM, our mission is to decrease the time patients are suffering from pelvic pain symptoms. We offer a proprietary, simple, office-based procedure to treat the symptoms of chronic pelvic pain. The PRM Protocol™ consists of a series of pelvic nerve and muscle treatments to directly target inflammation in the pelvis and nerve pain.

I'm an endometriosis surgeon with PRM in the DC Area, and someone asked me recently, what do I look for during endometriosis surgery? And the sassy answer is endometriosis. But in reality, we're actually looking for anything that could cause the patient's symptoms. So that starts with a cystoscopy. We put a camera inside the bladder and look for anything about the bladder that could be causing urinary symptoms or pelvic pain. Often we have to do a hysteroscopy and a really detailed pelvic exam to see if there's any involvement of endometriosis of the vagina or if there are any structural uterine anomalies that could contribute to cramping. Then we get to the part inside the abdomen where we start all the way up at the diaphragm and we work our way all the way down to the pelvic floor. Looking both for endo, anything abnormal that could be endo, or anything else that could cause pelvic pain. For example hernias or abnormalities of the appendix or abnormalities of the bowel. Anything that could be causing pelvic pain is something that we're looking for when we do endometriosis surgery so that we can give a patient real answers and real solution for why they're having their symptoms.
