Dr Karan Explores · Endometriosis Surgeon Explains What Everyone Gets Wrong - Dr Lora Liu · 13 Jul 2026 podcast

Would you do like a peritoneal biopsy or something and then examine the peritoneum, the inner lining of the abdomen under a microscope to see if there's any endometriosis microscopically in that peritoneum? voice-verified

Or is it specific commonly affected organs that you'd biopsy? voice-verified

This makes it even more challenging than I suspected because, you know, a lot of patients, the first hurdle they face is getting someone to agree to do a diagnostic laparoscopy in the first place. voice-verified

Assuming they someone believes they've got endometriosis or suspects it. voice-verified

That's like the first hurdle. voice-verified

Then they may have it, and the person doing it may not be a specialist, right? voice-verified

You should be an endometriosis specialist ideally to do the diagnostic laparoscopy. voice-verified

So you're not just unnecessarily causing some invasive insult to a patient and then it's like not as useful as it can be. voice-verified

Secondly, if they then don't find anything. voice-verified

A complete peritonectomy is quite a major undertaking, right? voice-verified

That's like very major surgery. voice-verified

So what is the kind of trigger for you to do a complete peritonectomy on patients who've had a negative laparoscopy but still have symptoms? voice-verified

Is it just the presence of these endometriosis type symptoms and a la a negative laparoscopy and negative imaging? voice-verified

And is that like voice-verified

Like the final, okay, we really don't want to go down this route because it's such a major thing, but you fit all these criteria. voice-verified

What are those criteria to get then to a complete peritonectomy? voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

I I think even though it's obviously like an aggressive approach, I think there is that silver lining there where it's the ability still to provide patient closure and at least an answer for them to explain their chronic lifelong symptoms because voice-verified

There's likely a significant proportion of patients who maybe haven't heard that endometriosis is a microscopic condition. voice-verified

That maybe they've had these symptoms, they finally have surgery, diagnostic laparoscopy, and they feel, yes, I'm gonna get the answers. voice-verified
