Epidemiological studies show a link between endometriosis and infertility. Infertility evaluations are a common reason for the diagnosis of endometriosis, and infertility is one of the possible consequences of endometriosis.
It is estimated that 20 to 50% of patients seeking treatment for infertility have endometriosis, and that 30 to 40% of patients with endometriosis also have infertility issues.
Le CEC intègre ce volet dans ses piliers. De nombreux articles scientifiques ont été publiés par notre équipe sur le sujet, nous travaillons activement à confirmer le bénéfice de la chirurgie dans ce contexte spécifique. Une chirurgie bien menée permet de préserver la fonction ovarienne et d’augmenter les chances de concevoir.
Why is the use of CO₂ lasers in endometriosis surgery by top-tier surgeons unique in France?
The CEC has extensive and recognized experience in the use of the CO2 laser (Acupulse, Lumenis) in laparoscopic surgery, having performed more than 5,000 surgeries for deep endometriosis using this technique. Currently, the CEC is the only center in France offering laparoscopic CO2 laser surgery for the treatment of endometriosis in its most complex forms, with experience documented in the scientific literature.
The CO2 laser has proven highly effective in the conservative treatment of ovarian, gastrointestinal, and urological endometriosis, and offers numerous advantages. It allows for highly precise dissection, and its use is associated with a lower risk of bleeding as well as faster recovery, as evidenced by an average hospital stay of 1 to 2 days for deep rectal endometriosis.
