Endo Excision Surgery For Deep Disease & Persistent Pelvic Pain: Guide Released
Oct 12, 2026
Lotus Endometriosis Institute has released a patient guide to excision surgery for persistent pelvic pain and deeper forms of endometriosis, explaining when the procedure may be considered and what specialist treatment can involve.
Arroyo Grande, United States, October 12, 2026 /PressCable/ -- Lotus Endometriosis Institute releases a surgical decision-making guide for patients considering endometriosis excision, with Dr. Steve Vasilev, M.D., explaining how the procedure removes visible disease while protecting healthy tissue and organ function where possible. The guide also examines why the location and depth of endometriosis can influence both the scope of surgery and the expertise required.

The guide comes as newly released CDC data shows that 6.2% of U.S. women ages 20-49 have been diagnosed with endometriosis. Since the disease can vary considerably in how and where it develops, surgical treatment may require different levels of planning and complexity from one patient to another.
Excision removes endometriosis lesions rather than cauterizing only their surface, and tissue can typically be sent for pathology after removal. The procedure becomes more complex when lesions are difficult to identify or extend into areas where surrounding structures need to be protected. “Excision surgery is highly skill-dependent,” Lotus notes, because the surgeon must determine what disease is present, how deeply it extends, and how much can be removed safely.
That clinical judgment is central to Dr. Vasilev’s approach. An experienced complex-case surgeon and early adopter of advanced minimally invasive techniques, he uses robotic assistance in most Lotus excision procedures to support visualization and controlled dissection when anatomy is difficult or disease is more extensive.
The guide explains that surgery is not automatically the answer for every patient with pelvic pain. Excision may be considered when symptoms remain significant despite medical treatment, when imaging suggests deeper disease, or when endometriosis may be contributing to fertility problems. As the institute puts it, “it is not just a matter of excision vs ablation,” but of determining which intervention fits the individual disease pattern.
That individualized decision-making continues after surgery, where expectations also need to account for other possible sources of pain. Removing endometriosis may address an important contributor, but pelvic floor dysfunction, nerve sensitization, adenomyosis, and other overlapping conditions can continue to produce symptoms even after technically successful excision.
For this reason, Lotus incorporates surgery into a wider treatment pathway. Evaluation before surgery is used to identify potential disease involvement and other pain generators, while postoperative care can include pain-focused support, pelvic floor rehabilitation, and integrative recovery strategies.
