This announcement comes at a time when endometriosis affects an estimated 10% of women of reproductive age worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. WHO has also noted that diagnosis and care remain delayed and inequitable, making patient education an important part of the broader discussion around endometriosis treatment.
According to the World Health Organization, many people with endometriosis experience significant delays before receiving a diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Once a diagnosis is made, patients are often faced with important decisions about their care. The guide was developed to help patients better understand some of the factors involved in evaluating surgical options and selecting a surgeon.
“Many patients spend years searching for answers before they receive an accurate diagnosis,” said Dr. Steven Vasilev, Founder of Lotus Endometriosis Institute. “This guide was created to help patients understand the questions that matter when choosing a surgeon and planning for care beyond the procedure itself.”
The guide reflects the Institute’s focus on advanced minimally invasive and robotic excision surgery, along with recovery support that considers the whole person. Its approach looks at surgery as one part of a longer care process, rather than a standalone event.
Dr. Vasilev is a quadruple board-certified physician with more than 30 years of experience in complex minimally invasive and robotic surgery. His work at Lotus Endometriosis Institute centers on advanced endometriosis excision and integrative care planning for patients with complex or persistent symptoms.
Lotus Endometriosis Institute provides advanced surgical and integrative care for individuals with endometriosis. Led by Dr. Steven Vasilev, M.D., the Institute combines minimally invasive and robotic excision surgery with personalized recovery planning. Its care model considers nutrition, hormonal balance, stress modulation, and other factors that may influence long-term recovery.
