Endometriosis. Obtaining relief via 'near-contact' laparoscopy.
Since 1979, Dr Redwine has performed the near-contact laparoscopy for the removal of endometriosis on nearly 400 women. Data collected from Dr Redwine's follow-up studies indicate that 75% of his patients have experienced complete relief of symptoms, and 20% have experienced an improvement in their symptoms from disabling pain to minimal pain. The individualized perioperative care and the high success rate realized with the near-contact technique has attracted women seeking relief from the painful and sometimes debilitating effects of endometriosis.
