Transcript Preview
[Dr. Mark Hoffman] Hysterectomy can be part of the treatment plan for pain. For peritoneal endometriosis, it's certainly deep disease, hysterectomy is not the answer. Getting comfortable in those spaces, especially when they've had a hysterectomy, is really that pre-op workup, that pre-op history, that pre-op evaluation, getting all that imaging. At the end of the day, sending the patient to somebody who's done this a ton, there aren't a lot of mods out there, but there's enough out there doing great work that we need to understand if our patients are coming in after hysterectomy, known endometriosis, you have to have your flags raised, be aware, and think, man, this could be maybe one of the hardest cases we could see, and make sure that they get the best- our patients get the best opportunities to get a good outcome.
