Lotus Endometriosis Institute Expands Robotic Excision Surgery As Demand Grows

Lotus Endometriosis Institute announces expanded capacity for robotic excision surgery to remove diseased lesions at the root, reduce pain, and ease organ irritation. With offices in Arroyo Grande and Santa Monica, the institute serves patients both from California and out of state.

Arroyo Grande, United States, October 23, 2026 /PressCable/ -- Endometriosis diagnoses are on the rise, with a 32% increase between 2017 and 2024, according to Becker's Hospital Review. More and more patients are seeking advanced treatment for persistent pelvic pain, painful periods, and related symptoms, but access to experienced surgical teams remains a critical barrier—one that the expanded services of Lotus Endometriosis aim to overcome.

Endometriosis diagnosis rates were highest among women ages 35-49, according to the survey, which tracked more than 25 million women. Abdominal and pelvic pain were the most common symptoms, reported two years or less before the diagnosis, data revealed. Pain most frequently leads individuals to seek treatment, but many with persistent or worsening symptoms face long wait times and limited access to surgeons with the training required to manage deep or multifocal disease.

Against this backdrop, the expanded services from Lotus Endometriosis Institute are designed to increase access for those suffering from pain, menstrual complications, infertility, and GI symptoms associated with the condition.

The institute's robotic-assisted excision surgery - a minimally invasive procedure - is designed to remove endometriosis tissue and provide durable symptom relief. This laparoscopic procedure has demonstrated significant clinical benefits in published studies, including meaningful symptom reductions and improvements in quality of life for patients with deep infiltrating disease.

Unlike ablation, which cauterizes surface tissue, excision removes lesions down to healthy tissue, allowing for pathologic confirmation and more complete disease removal. Patients undergoing excision typically experience shorter hospital stays and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery; many resume normal activities within two to six weeks. Excision addresses a range of symptoms—pelvic pain, painful intercourse, bowel and bladder discomfort, and infertility concerns—when performed by surgeons trained in complex pelvic anatomy.

The procedure is typically recommended for patients whose symptoms remain life-limiting despite medical therapy, including hormonal suppression or anti-inflammatory strategies. Candidates often present with cyclical pelvic pain, painful bowel movements, bladder urgency, or infertility linked to suspected endometriosis.

Lotus Endometriosis Institute is led by medical director Dr. Steven Vasilev, an experienced practitioner and educator in robotic techniques for complex gynecologic cases. The excision procedure is part of the Institute's broader care plan, offering advanced diagnostics, support for pain relief, and integrative recovery plans to support optimal recovery and quality of life.
