Pelvic pain, painful periods, heavy bleeding, pain with intimacy, and trouble getting pregnant can all be signs of endometriosis. For many patients, the hardest part is not only living with symptoms but also finding a team that can identify and remove the disease with clarity.
Robotic excision of endometriosis is a minimally invasive surgical option designed to remove endometriosis lesions while protecting as much healthy tissue as possible. At The Endometriosis Treatment Center of America, Dr. Jonathan Zaidan, MD, FACOG, and his team focus on complete excision, pathology-confirmed results, and long-term support for patients in Lake Orion, Bloomfield Hills, and beyond.
What Is Robotic Excision of Endometriosis?
Robotic excision of endometriosis is a surgical procedure that removes endometriosis lesions from the body. Excision means the damaged tissue is cut out completely rather than left behind or only treated on the surface.
During robotic endometriosis surgery, the surgeon uses the da Vinci system, which provides a highly magnified 3D view and wristed instruments that enable surgery through small incisions. The system gives the surgeon a highly magnified 3D view and wristed instruments that allow careful movement around the pelvic organs, blood vessels, nerves, bowel, bladder, and ureters.
Robotic technology never works alone—your surgeon controls it completely to remove disease more accurately with a gentler, minimally invasive procedure.
Why Complete Excision Matters
Endometriosis can affect the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder, bowel, and surrounding pelvic tissue. When lesions are not fully removed, pain and inflammation may continue or return.
Complete excision is designed to:
- Remove visible endometriosis lesions
- Preserve nearby healthy tissue when possible
- Reduce pelvic pain linked to active disease
- Support fertility goals for patients who still want pregnancy
- Provide tissue samples that can be sent to pathology
The Endometriosis Treatment Center of America provides real pathology reports after excision surgery. This gives patients clearer proof of what was removed and helps document the extent of the disease.
Who May Be a Candidate for Robotic Endometriosis Surgery?
You may be a candidate for robotic excision if you have been diagnosed with endometriosis or have symptoms that strongly suggest it. Surgery may also be considered when pain, heavy bleeding, bowel or bladder symptoms, or infertility concerns are affecting daily life.
Robotic excision may be especially helpful for patients with complex disease or lesions near delicate pelvic structures. Dr. Zaidan and the care team review your symptoms, goals, history, imaging, and prior treatments before recommending surgery.
Because endometriosis can affect fertility, ETCA also focuses on fertility preservation when patients still desire pregnancy.
The ETCA Approach to Treatment
The Endometriosis Treatment Center of America uses a step-by-step approach that starts with an accurate diagnosis. Laparoscopic visualization allows the surgeon to look inside the abdomen and pelvis. In some cases, excision and tissue removal can begin during the same procedure.
The next step is managing inflammation. Endometriosis is an inflammatory condition that may progress without care. Treatment may involve reducing the hormone activity that drives ongoing growth and irritation.
Excision is then performed using the da Vinci robotic platform. Once lesions are removed, specimens are sent to pathology. After surgery, ETCA may recommend maintenance therapy to help lower the chance of recurrence by addressing the estrogen-progesterone balance.
Recovery and Results
Robotic endometriosis surgery is minimally invasive, which means it is performed through small incisions instead of one large abdominal incision. Many patients can return home sooner than they might after open surgery, though recovery varies.
You may have soreness, fatigue, light bleeding, or bloating after surgery. Your team will give you instructions for activity, incision care, medications, and follow-up visits.
Results depend on the severity of the disease, the location of lesions, prior treatments, and your body’s healing process. Many patients pursue excision to reduce pelvic pain, improve quality of life, and better understand the source of their symptoms through pathology-confirmed findings.
Why Choose the Endometriosis Treatment Center of America for Robotic Excision of Endometriosis in Lake Orion, MI?
The Endometriosis Treatment Center of America is built around endometriosis care, not just general gynecology. Dr. Jonathan Zaidan, MD, FACOG, is a board-certified OB/GYN and President and Founder of ETCA. He specializes in minimally invasive surgery and is known for his focus on robotic excision of endometriosis and pelvic pain concerns.
ETCA stands apart by emphasizing complete excision and pathology-proven results. Many patients are told they have endometriosis treated, but they are not always given clear proof of what was removed. ETCA sends removed tissue to pathology so patients have documentation and greater transparency about their care.
The practice also offers support for patients outside Michigan through a specialty virtual care program. Whether you live near Lake Orion or Bloomfield Hills, or are out of state, the team works to make advanced endometriosis care more accessible.
