Sounds like its a procedure that's called Excision. If it is, then its a more effective way to remove endo, leaving less scar tissue and giving longer lasting results. If your not sure, ring your consultants receptionist and ask if its possible for a nurse to ring you as your not sure.

Good luck xxx
