Endo Year Reflection: #16

Send us a text with a question or thought on this episode

As we close out 2024 and our Endo Year Reflection series, this episode dives into one of the most important topics in endometriosis care—surgical mapping. Join me as I reflect on the insights from my conversation with Dr. Ramiro Cabrera in Episode 88, where we discuss why surgical mapping should be the gold standard in endometriosis treatment.

In this episode, we explore:

• The value of surgical mapping in endometriosis care and why it should be prioritized
• How imaging, when done correctly, can play a vital role in surgical planning and intervention
• Dr. Cabrera’s perspective on how outdated U.S. protocols are when it comes to staging and imaging for endometriosis
• My personal experience with surgeries and the impact of proper pre-surgical planning
• The importance of ensuring your doctor has a clear, well-thought-out surgical plan before going under the knife
• How understanding the need for realistic expectations and longer recovery times can improve your post-surgery journey

As we wrap up this year, I’m incredibly grateful for this community and the lessons we’ve shared together. Here’s to setting higher standards for endometriosis care in 2025!
