Expert excision specialist Dr. Lora Liu reveals what patients should expect during post-surgery follow-ups, emphasizing the critical importance of receiving pathology reports. We discuss the non-negotiable documentation patients deserve after endometriosis excision surgery and how these records confirm exactly what was removed.
• Pathology reports are the most important post-surgery document and should be provided without patients having to "pull teeth" to get them
• Pathology reports definitively confirm endometriosis diagnosis and provide proof that excision (not ablation) was performed
• Operative reports are helpful but less crucial than pathology reports as they're surgeon-dictated narratives
• Every excised piece of tissue should be sent to pathology for proper documentation
• Understanding the difference between excision and ablation techniques through your surgical documentation
• Medical records belong to patients and should be readily available upon request
