Send us a text with a question or thought on this episode ( We cannot replay from this link)Dr. Ramiro Cabrera explains how surgical mapping revolutionizes endometriosis treatment by allowing surgeons to visualize deep infiltrating disease before operating. This European-originated technique enables personalized surgical planning and proper specialist involvement, replacing outdated diagnostic approaches with comprehensive pre-surgical imaging.• Endometriosis has three types: peritoneal (superficial), deep infiltrating, and ovarian endometriomas• Only endometriomas are easily visible on standard ultrasound, while deep disease requires specialized imaging• Surgical mapping uses special protocols including rectal gel, vaginal gel, and bowel preparation• Expert radiologists need 5-10 years of experience to accurately detect deep endometriosis• Modern ENZIAN classification provides detailed disease location instead of simple staging• Mapping shows precisely which organs are affected and to what extent• Pre-surgical knowledge allows assembly of the right surgical team (urologists, colorectal surgeons, etc.)• Even the best surgeons cannot see through tissue without proper mapping• No surgeon should perform diagnostic laparoscopy without first completing imaging mappingSend your questions by using the link in the description, emailing [email protected], or visiting the endobattery.com contact page.Be Prepared for anything with Prep Starts Now.
