Specialty
Endometriosis
Precise diagnosis and specialized treatment, from clinical management to advanced surgery.
Endometriosis affects about one in ten women and can cause intense pain, impact fertility and harm quality of life. We are a reference in the diagnosis and treatment of the condition, with an individualized approach for each patient. Treatment can be clinical or surgical, depending on the severity of the condition and each woman’s goals — including the wish to become pregnant. When surgery is indicated, we use high-precision minimally invasive techniques to remove disease foci while preserving organs and fertility.
