Patient's question:
After giving birth via C-section two years ago, I discovered endometriosis. If surgery is performed, how large will the surgical area be? Is it as large as the initial C-section wound? How long will it take to fully recover?Doctor's answer:
Do you have pelvic endometriosis or surgical incision site endometriosis? If it is pelvic endometriosis, such as chocolate cysts of the ovary, the surgical incision does not need to be as large as a cesarean section, and you can fully recover in 2 months after surgery. Incision site endometriosis requires selection based on the size of the lesion, and it generally will not be larger than the original incision. Is it abdominal incision endometriosis? If so, the incision is made at the original cesarean section site to remove the endometrial tissue. The surgery will not be very complex. Usually, the stitches are removed after 7 days.
