Endometriosis Treatment in London — Laparoscopic Surgery
Consultant-led · day surgery · Harley Street, London
Endometriosis is treated by keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery to diagnose and remove endometriosis tissue and adhesions, easing pain and improving fertility. At Minor Surgery UK a consultant gynaecologist performs it as day surgery in London, from £4,050. Most patients return to normal activity within one to two weeks.
What the treatment involves
Through small incisions, the surgeon uses a camera to find endometriosis and adhesions, then removes or destroys the tissue (excision or ablation). The same operation both confirms the diagnosis and treats it.
When surgery is right
Laparoscopy is considered when symptoms such as pelvic pain or painful periods persist, when scans suggest endometriosis, or where fertility is affected. A consultant reviews your history and imaging first.
Recovery
Expect some bloating and shoulder-tip discomfort for a few days. Most patients return to desk work within one to two weeks, with a gradual return to exercise.
Cost
Endometriosis treatment by laparoscopy starts from £4,050 all-inclusive (medical procedure — VAT-exempt). Complex cases are quoted at consultation.

Frequently asked questions
How is endometriosis diagnosed?
Endometriosis is definitively diagnosed at laparoscopy, where the surgeon can see and confirm the tissue — scans and symptoms may suggest it, but keyhole surgery confirms it and can treat it in the same operation.
How much does private endometriosis surgery cost?
At Minor Surgery UK, laparoscopic treatment starts from £4,050 all-inclusive, confirmed at consultation depending on complexity.
How long is recovery after endometriosis surgery?
Most patients return to desk work within one to two weeks, with a gradual return to full activity over a few weeks.
Will surgery cure my endometriosis?
Surgery removes existing endometriosis and can significantly reduce pain and improve fertility, but endometriosis can recur, so your consultant will discuss longer-term management.
What anaesthetic is used?
The procedure is performed under general anaesthetic as keyhole surgery.
Can endometriosis surgery help fertility?
Removing endometriosis and adhesions can improve fertility in some women; your consultant will discuss what to expect in your individual case.
