Endometriosis is a painful, troubling illness affecting an estimated 176 million women and girls globally. The disease is responsible for causing pain ranging from mild to crippling; loss of countless missed work and school hours; for some, infertility or pregnancy loss; and many other financial and intangible costs.  Often invalidated or ignored, many struggle with endometriosis in isolation.  However - there is hope!

The CEC and its surgeons have been designated as a Center of Excellence in Minimally Invasive Gynecology by the AAGL and Surgical Review Corporation.  Our world-class surgeons have been successfully helping patients of all ages from every corner of the globe to regain their quality of life for nearly two and a half decades.  At our Center, we believe the key to treating endometriosis is to surgically excise it - meaning, completely and meticulously removing all disease from all areas, including those areas others may have deemed 'impossible' to treat. We believe in removing endometriosis - not organs - through our "compassionate-aggressive" approach.  Our CEC-accredited surgeons are among the leading pioneers and have created a legacy in gold standard treatment of endometriosis via their Advanced Laparoscopic Excision, or LAPEX, technique.  LAPEX is a surgical approach limited to use by those few practitioners across the world who have dedicated their life's work to the successful treatment of endometriosis, who truly understand the disease, and who have mastered the art of minimally invasive advanced gynecologic surgery.

We have successfully treated the most complex of cases, through more than 8,000 combined procedures in over 4,000 patients from 43 countries.  Our low recurrence and high success rates are a testament to the effectiveness of LAPEX as the gold standard for endometriosis.   We welcome you to please read on throughout both of our websites and social media to learn more, request materials, ask questions, or check our references.  Our website and all materials are, of course, always provided freely to help you learn about endometriosis and our important work in trying to help heal women and girls with the disease. We're glad you're here - and we'd like to help. Don't forget to check our references!  Feel free to also join us on Facebook, Twitter & Pinterest. **Please, do not send unsolicited records to the CEC. We cannot accept unregistered cases and such materials will be destroyed. Learn more here. Thank you for understanding.**
