Laparoscopic Surgery for Endometriosis in Pune
Leading Endometriosis Specialist in Pune
You have been told your pain is normal. You have been asked to just manage it every month. But pain that stops you from working, sleeping, or living your life is not normal — and you deserve better than that.
Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women of reproductive age. In India, most women live with it for 7 to 10 years before getting a correct diagnosis. If you are struggling with severe period pain, chronic pelvic discomfort, or difficulty conceiving, laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis offers a long-term solution to relieve pain and restore reproductive health.
At Love Your Belly Clinic in Baner, Dr Kunaal K. Shinde is a leading endometriosis specialist in Pune and a fellowship-trained laparoscopic and robotic gynaecological surgeon who specialises in complete disease clearance during a single surgery. With over 15 years of experience and 12,000-plus surgeries behind him, he offers women in Pune a precise, fertility-preserving approach to endometriosis treatment. If you are looking for a Gynaec Laparoscopic Surgeon in Baner with proven expertise, this is where your search ends. Book your consultation today. The sooner you act, the better your outcome.
What Is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis is a painful condition in which the tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterus, leading to scarring, adhesions, and pain. Laparoscopic surgery is one of the treatment options for endometriosis, which involves the removal of endometrial tissue and adhesions.
What Causes Endometriosis?
No single cause has been confirmed. Research points to a combination of factors:
- Retrograde menstruation: menstrual blood flows backward through the fallopian tubes and implants on pelvic organs
- Immune system dysfunction: the body fails to identify and clear displaced endometrial cells
- Genetic predisposition: if your mother or sister has endometriosis, your risk increases 6 to 10 times
- Hormonal imbalance: high oestrogen levels promote tissue growth outside the uterus
- Previous pelvic surgery: caesarean sections or other procedures can inadvertently spread endometrial cells
Understanding your specific risk factors helps in building a treatment plan that addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms.
What Symptoms Are Women Ignoring?
Most women with endometriosis are told their pain is normal. It is not. These are signs that should not be dismissed:
• Severe period pain that requires you to miss work or stay in bed
• Chronic pelvic pain that continues even outside your period
• Pain during or after intercourse
• Painful bowel movements or urination around your period
• Heavy periods or irregular bleeding
• Bloating and nausea that comes with every cycle
• Difficulty getting pregnant despite trying for over a year
• Lower back pain that radiates toward the thighs
If two or more of these sound familiar, please do not wait. Early diagnosis and surgery leads to far better outcomes for both pain relief and fertility.
How Is Endometriosis Diagnosed?
Many patients who come to us in Baner have already had multiple ultrasounds that came back “normal.” A normal ultrasound does not rule out endometriosis. Here is how we diagnose it properly:
- Detailed history — menstrual pattern, pain description, bowel and bladder symptoms, family history
- Pelvic examination — checking for tenderness, nodularity, or restricted uterine mobility
- Transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) — high-resolution scan to detect ovarian cysts and endometriomas
- MRI pelvis — used for deep infiltrating disease involving the bowel, bladder, or ureters
- Diagnostic laparoscopy with biopsy — the only definitive confirmation; tissue is visualised and tested directly
In most cases, diagnosis and treatment happen in the same surgery. You do not need two separate procedures.
What is Lap Surgery for Endometrisis?
Laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis involves making small incisions in the abdomen and inserting a laparoscope, a thin instrument with a camera, to visualize the endometrial tissue and adhesions. The surgeon can then remove the tissue and adhesions using specialized instruments.
How Is Laparoscopic Endometriosis Surgery Performed?
Laparoscopic surgery is done under general anaesthesia. It typically takes 1 to 3 hours depending on the severity of your disease. Here is what happens:
- Three to four small incisions (5 to 12 mm) are made in the abdomen
- A high-definition camera is introduced to visualise the entire pelvic cavity
- All endometrial implants, cysts, and adhesions are mapped and assessed
- Lesions are excised — cut out at the root, not just burned on the surface
- Chocolate cysts are carefully dissected away from the ovary
- Scar tissue between organs is separated to restore normal anatomy
- Incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures
Dr. Kunaal Shinde’s approach focuses on complete disease clearance in a single surgery. This reduces recurrence, minimises repeat procedures, and gives you the best possible chance of long-term relief.
For fibroids that co-exist with endometriosis, the same laparoscopic sitting can often address both. See our page on Laparoscopic Myomectomy Surgery in Pune for details.
Robotic Endometriosis Surgery in Pune
For complex or deep infiltrating endometriosis, robotic-assisted surgery offers advantages that go beyond what conventional laparoscopy can provide.
- 10x magnified, 3D high-definition view of the operative field
- Wristed instruments with 7 degrees of freedom — exceeding the natural range of the human hand
- No hand tremor, enabling ultra-fine dissection near the bowel, bladder, and ureters
- Ideal for Stage III and IV disease, deep infiltrating endometriosis, and complex adhesions
Dr. Kunaal Shinde trained in robotic surgery through the International College of Robotic Surgeons and is among a select group of surgeons in Pune performing robotic gynaecological procedures. The robot does not operate independently — the surgeon controls every movement in real time. Learn more about our Robotic Gynaec Surgery services in Pune.
Recovery After Laparoscopic Endometriosis Surgery
What to expect, week by week
Day of surgery: You are up and walking within 4 to 6 hours. Most patients are discharged the following morning.
Days 1 to 3: Mild abdominal bloating and shoulder discomfort from the CO2 gas. This resolves completely within 48 hours. Oral pain relief manages any discomfort.
Week 1 to 2: Rest at home. Light walking is encouraged. Follow-up appointment at our Baner clinic during this period.
Week 2 to 4: Return to desk work and light daily activities. Driving is usually possible from Week 2 onward.
Week 4 to 6: Full activity including exercise can be resumed. Intimacy may be restarted after surgeon clearance.
3 months post-surgery: Review scan, hormonal assessment, and fertility planning discussion if applicable.
Robotic surgery recovery is comparable to conventional laparoscopy. You are home quickly, with small incisions and significantly less pain than open surgery.

Most women resume light activity within a week and normal routine within two to three weeks. Pain and bloating reduce gradually during this period. Rest, proper hydration, and avoiding heavy lifting in the first few days help the body heal faster and more comfortably.
A follow-up visit within two to three weeks helps track healing and hormone balance after the procedure. Early consultation allows the specialist to monitor recovery closely, address any lingering symptoms, and lower the chance of endometriosis recurring in the following months.
