The CSH Endometriosis Centre, accredited by The British Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy, is a leading facility dedicated to providing comprehensive care for patients with endometriosis. Led by Dr. Dani Hana, an expert endometriosis doctor and specialist in complex advanced laparoscopic surgery, the centre offers high-quality, evidence-based endometriosis treatment options through a dynamic multidisciplinary team approach.
Endometriosis is a chronic condition affecting approximately 1 in 10 women of reproductive age. It occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the womb, attaching to other organs such as the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and pelvic area. This can lead to severe pelvic pain, heavy periods, and fertility issues.
Diagnosis of endometriosis often begins with a thorough medical history and physical examination. While imaging tests like ultrasounds can be helpful, an endometriosis biopsy through laparoscopy remains the gold standard for definitive diagnosis. During this minimally invasive procedure, a thin camera is inserted through small incisions in the abdomen, allowing endometriosis specialists to visualize and potentially remove endometrial lesions.
The CSH Endometriosis Centre offers a range of endometriosis therapy options, tailored to each patient's needs:
Non-surgical approaches:
Pain medications
Hormonal treatments (e.g., birth control pills)
Lifestyle modification
Minimally invasive surgery:
Laparoscopic excision of endometrial implants
Removal of scar tissue and adhesions
Advanced surgical techniques:
Complex laparoscopic procedures for severe cases
Open surgery (laparotomy) when necessary
Fertility preservation and treatment:
Collaboration with fertility specialists
Egg freezing options
Holistic care:
Pain management strategies
Nutritional counseling
Mental health support
Our endometriosis specialists excel in laparoscopic surgery, offering several advantages over traditional open surgery:
Smaller incisions
Faster recovery times
Reduced risk of complications
During the procedure, surgeons can remove endometrial implants, scar tissue, and adhesions, potentially alleviating pain and improving fertility outcomes.
Recovery from laparoscopic endometriosis surgery typically takes 1-2 weeks, though this can vary depending on the extent of the procedure. Our team provides comprehensive post-operative care and guidance to ensure optimal healing and symptom management.
