Members confirmed that outpatient laparoscopy is the standard approach for endometriosis unless complications arise or a doctor determines inpatient care is necessary. Several members shared they had undergone multiple procedures, ranging from two to four over their lifetimes, with most reporting the surgeries provided significant relief, though some experienced symptom recurrence over time.
