Is endo ablation day surgery?

[Mulberry2016]

Hi everyone,

Im on the waiting list for my 3rd surgery for laser ablation of endo. The previous two times I have had it done it was not done as day surgery, I was in overnight afterwards. Ive just had a call to say there's been a cancellation at the local day surgery unit. Tried to ring them back but it's ringing out. Just wondered if anyone has had ablation done as day surgery? The only day surgery I have ever had was a diagnostic lap back in 2008. My last surgery was feb 2015 and it involved an overnight stay. It's the same surgeon doing this one as all my other surgeries. When day surgery department call back im just not sure wether to accept it or not.

Thanks x

Hi Lindle, sorry I was just asking if anyone had had the surgery done as day surgery because I never have. I managed to get through to the day surgery department and the woman said that although they do removal of endometriosis in day surgery they don't do anything to do with the uterosacral ligaments and so she is emailing the consultant to check he definitely wants it to be day surgery. I would be very reluctant to go for this option as surely I require more time in theatre than the day surgery slot which is shorter, as he needs to thoroughly remove the endo. This links in with what you are saying about him perhaps not treating it thoroughly in the past which is a huge concern for me. As I live in Scotland, I was told that I would only be referred to bsge if I had deep infiltrating or rectovaginal endometriosis which I do not , and the consultant said therefore a referral to bsge is not necessary. To be quite honest I don't know what to do next! Waiting on the copies of my previous surgery write up from my gp as you suggested.
