I have spoken to my surgeon and want to see what other surgeons suggest. I have endometriosis on my muscle wall and want it removed during my tummy tuck. It causes me a great deal of pain and bloating can this be done
Answer: Surgery Yes, your cosmetic and gyn surgeries can be performed at the same time if both surgeons agree. The fibroid will be removed first and then the abdominoplasty will follow.

Answer: We need to know the location and extent of endometriosis with a CT scan. Abdominal muscles are two sided: one side looks up to the skin and one side looks to the internal organs. So we need to know the exact location of your endometriosis and also the extent of it. So it can be decided if it is a good idea to endometriosis surgery alone or with tummy tuck. This can be understood with a CT scan.

Answer: Combined procedures I’m assuming you have an OB/GYN who is going to do a laparoscopic biopsy procedure.

Answer: Can endometriosis of the abdominal wall be removed and abdominoplasty be performed at same sitting? Hi and welcome to our forum!Endometriosis has the ability to spread to other organs, as it already has in your situation. Removal carries a risk of seeding other tissues. Opening wide the entire extent of abdominal soft tissues at the same sitting is not recommended as it exposes these tissues to possible seeding.Separate these procedures by 6 months or so. Remove the endometriosis deposit first as it is symptomatic.Best wishes...
