Endometriosis: Laparoscopic vs. Robotic Surgery – Which is Better?

The initial typical picture of the patient with endometriosis is usually associated with pelvic adhesions. Pelvic adhesions are a common cause of infertility in patients.
There is a big role of doing a good laparoscopic surgery in patients who are suffering from endometriosis because once we are able to achieve a complete clearance of the disease along with Restoration of the entire anatomy of the pelvis this has a distinct advantage in ovulation as well as in improving the hormonal parameters which are existing in the uterus and in the ovary and all his factors combined together play a vital role in enhancing the fertility of the patient.
Is Laparoscopic surgery better than Open surgery for Endometriosis?
Laparoscopic surgery is considered to be the treatment of choice and is the gold standard in endometriosis. In laparoscopy units which are using 3D experience a much better perception of the depth in the pelvis as a result of which they are able to provide with a much better clearance of the entire disease.
Does performing laparoscopic surgery require any form of expertise?
Laparoscopic surgery routinely performs the technique across many locations in India. However it is extremely important to not understand that laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis requires extremely special training and an extremely special skill set. This is not commonly available across the country and as a result of which patients end up in the hands of non expert surgical units where the entire excision of the disease does not occur and this increases the rate of recurrence.
As a result of this, the recurrence rate associated with endometriosis is close to 40%. However, when an expert like the team of Dr Jay Mehta, the best doctor for endometriosis performs the surgeries because they are specifically trending in endometriosis they have been consistently reported to have a recurrence rate of less than 3% across the entire spectrum of endometriosis and its wide range of complex surgeries.
Is Robotic Surgery a Better option compared to Laparoscopic Surgery for Endometriosis?
Robotic surgery is a well-marketed product in the industry. Robotic surgery does not lead to any increment in the Patient safety. In fact robotic surgery is associated with an extremely increased cost of usage of the equipment to the patient. At the moment in India, this is an out-of-pocket expense for the patient. An expert laparoscopic surgeon in Mumbai, Dr. Jay Mehta can give better outcomes to the patient as compared to a robotic surgery.
After how long of the surgery can a patient plan for conception?
If the excision of endometriosis has been completed and the anatomy has been restored completely in that situation almost all patients provided they have adequate fertility parameters are allowed to carry out conception within 2 to 3 months of the surgery. At the time of the surgery anatomy and pattern see of the fallopian tubes is tested. Simultaneously a hysteroscopic examination of the uterine cavity is also performed.
Can the patient conceive naturally post surgery or do they need IUI / IVF?
The decision to conceive naturally or to try IUI or IVF is actually based upon the patient parameters and upon the ability of the surgical team to achieve clearance and establish a normal anatomy. As a result of this one May find that when they choose to get operated with an expert surgeon the probability that they will be able to conceive naturally following the surgery can go up exponentially. This entire decision requires close coordination between the fertility specialist and the laparoscopic surgeon.
Fortunately, Doctor Jay Mehta is an extremely renowned laparoscopic surgeon in Mumbai and a top fertility specialist in India. As a result, these patients are able to experience the good side of both the subspecialties when they are under treatment of Doctor Jay Mehta and his team.

I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Jay's exceptional support throughout my IVF journey. Dr Jay has been like God sent an Angel for us. From our very first meeting, it was clear that Dr. Jay was not only a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional but also someone who genuinely cared about my well-being.
From my first meeting, he was very clear transparent, and straightforward about my protocol, treatment line, and success rate. After two difficult IVF cycles that failed, I was beginning to lose hope.
However, Dr. Jay’s unwavering encouragement and meticulous care helped me stay positive and focused. Thanks to God and of course to his expertise and dedication, WE FINALLY ACHIEVED SUCCESS!!!!!

Dr Jay Mehta is the best Fertility doctor. I am glad to have IVF done with Jay sir.
This unit is very ethical and very honest at work. In my previous IVF cycle, I did not have embryos in Chennai. I was here and Dr and team had told me not to worry. I was given end to end transparency about my embryos and I was lucky to become pregnant in the 1st cycle here, though I was told that the success rate will be about 25 to 30%.
IVF space is competitive, but these guys don't do any Ads on Google. And still if you search, Dr Jay is ranked no.1. I was extremely impressed with that and I am happy that I took a call to travel to Mumbai from Chennai.
I am thankful to the entire team for handling my case nicely. And May God shower the team with his choicest blessings.
