City: Hopkinsville, Kentucky
Philosophy: Multifactorial origin for a complex disease (with emphasis on genetic and embryonic theories), and thus the treatment approach needs to be personalized and multidisciplinary.
What type of surgery do you perform for endometriosis?: Excision
Medication: I use hormonal suppression with combined contraceptives or some progestational agents when someone does not want surgical treatment and desires contraception. I use GnRH antagonists for patients who are suffering from pain symptoms and desiring to delay surgical intervention and not attempting conception.
Approach to Persistent Pain After Surgery: Reassess and reevaluate for any concomitant pathology that could be contributing to pain. Also, postoperative hormonal suppression decreases the risk of recurrence
