Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing pain, inflammation, and sometimes infertility. It affects approximately 1 in 10 women of reproductive age. Dr. Luna Russo specializes in all forms of endometriosis, including deep endometriosis (DE), pelvic and extra-pelvic endometriosis. These complex presentations require advanced surgical expertise. He has extensive experience managing the most challenging cases through a multidisciplinary approach involving colorectal surgery, thoracic surgery, and urology. Unlike ablation, which only burns the surface of endometriosis lesions, Dr. Luna Russo performs gold-standard excision surgery, which removes the disease at its root for more complete and lasting relief.
