Diagnostic laparoscopy with ablation
If anyone has knowledge or experience of
diathermy
as a treatment for (supposedly) mild endometriosis, that would be amazing to hear as well.

Had diagnostic laparoscopy, poor discharge letter & post-op help
I’ve finally had a laparoscopy and I think I’ve had therapeutic treatment (maybe
diathermy
? No idea) via a private hospital as nhs would make me wait 6 months to a year.

Diagnosis Anterior Cutaneous Nerve entrapment syndrome?
I had had laparascopic
diathermy
and laser treatment for endometriosis in my 20s and 30s, but eventually taking the progesterone only pill meant I had no periods at all which was a massive result for me and I took them until I was 52.

got my surgery notes, need help understanding them please
There is thickening and scarring in the both uterosacral ligament, this has been ablated using
diathermy
. There was some fluid in the abdomen, this has been aspirated. There is evidence of endometrioma and both ovaries are freely mobile.

Bob update (ICD wound revision)
This was to avoid the plasma/
diathermy
cutter from confusing my ICD and it delivering a shock. When someone is doing fiddly work, it's most inconvenient if the patient jolts about, so I thought this was a sensible precaution. In went the local anaesthetic and the surgeon began her work.

Ultrasounds/MRIs - My experience and why you need to advocate for yourself if they don’t show Endo!
. - I felt better after
diathermy
treatment than excision treatment, so again each person will respond differently to different treatments. The excision might be gold standard but I will take
diathermy
treatment any day.

Endometriosis diagnosis
Once I came round from the surgery I had a 2 min discussion with the consultant, who said she had found and used
diathermy
to remove endometriosis on my bladder and uterus but could only partially remove the cyst on my ovary and to get in touch if I decided to pursue hormonal medication.

Late period after laparoscopy
I had my laparoscopy two weeks ago, they found endo and a load of adhesions so performed
diathermy
. My period is now 4 days late. I did a pregnancy test at the hospital before the op. Did anyone else experience a late period after surgery?

Feeling a bit lost after being ditched by hospital/GP after surgery/diagnosis
symptoms for about a decade (and I have some other health conditions), but I finally got a referral to a gynaecologist last year and I had a laparoscopy on 27th May 2022 which the consultant came to me afterwards and said that she had found a couple of patches of endometriosis that she had treated with

Post Op Incisions - normal sounding or not?
They did find endo and used
diathermy
(I don't know much beyond that until post op consult next month) I'm just wondering at the moment about the incisions. I was fortunate enough to only have two. The lower one has been fine - dry with some bruising but about as you'd expect.

laparoscopy findings-what’s your thoughts?
The findings revealed the following; - destruction of endo lesion of peritoneum -
diathermy
see endo on left uterosacral ligament I also have 2 fibroids 3cm and 4cm (consultant said it wasn’t near the colon when looked at through the laparoscopy). They haven’t treated the fibroids.

Stage 1 endo burnt out and still hurting! Why?
When I awoke from my laparoscopy over 19 days now, my consultant said that he only found a small area of active endo and an old bit of endo and got rid of both with
diathermy
and that by the time he had finished there was no endo left.

Laparoscopy - when to remove incision dressings?
I had it removed via excision/
diathermy
and am now recovering well. One piece of advice I must have missed on discharge is when to completely remove the dressings covering the incisions.

Return of pain
She ‘treated’ the endo with
diathermy
in my pelvis and on my cervix. I have to say, my daily pain has reduced but when I have a flare up or a period, I feel like the pain is worse than ever.

Help!
My surgeon excised most of the endo, except for some on my left ovary which she burned using
diathermy
. I also got the mirena put in. After surgery, I had no pain and I was feeling amazing because I wasn't getting my periods anymore.
