Hi again, did it say on the operative report that a LUNA was done?
I found this on the site, ''LUNA
When Do I Do It?
I believe that endometriosis must be totally excised in order to be
effectively treated. Because the uterosacral ligaments are one of the
most common locations for endometriosis to be found, I routinely excise
endo from them. This effectively results in LUNA. I rarely choose to
perform LUNA on a totally normal uterosacral ligament if other obvious
causes for pelvic pain are found. I would be inclined to perform LUNA
if no other cause for pain is found.''
