Dr. Braun , Maybe there is a possibilty that endometriosis was overlooked! I had a laporoscopy Assisted vaginal hysterectomy and LSO 4/98 ,Then had another laporoscopy 10/98 and 4/99 for adhesions and in 11/99 I had another laporoscopy and this is when I was diagnosed with endometriosis .You would think that the endometriosis would have been seen with the other surgeries but it wasn't.> >
