-- The Lotus Endometriosis Institute has announced its mission and vision for advancing endometriosis treatment through a model that brings specialized surgical care together with integrative recovery and ongoing research. Led by Dr. Steven Vasilev, the Institute's approach reflects a goal of treating endometriosis as a complex condition that can require support beyond surgery alone.

The announcement comes as endometriosis continues to affect an estimated 190 million women and girls of reproductive age worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. The organization notes that the chronic disease can cause severe pelvic pain and affect daily life, while there is currently no known cure. Treatment therefore focuses on managing symptoms based on an individual's needs and circumstances.
The Institute's vision is to help change how endometriosis is understood and treated. Its model begins with advanced minimally invasive and robotic excision surgery when appropriate, while recognizing that removing visible disease may represent only one part of a patient's treatment and recovery journey.
The Institute’s mission extends across treatment, fertility support, whole-person care, and the future of the field. It aims to provide advanced surgical care for endometriosis at varying stages of complexity, support patients facing infertility or subfertility, and advance research and education for the next generation of specialists.
Integrative care is incorporated to address factors that can influence recovery and long-term well-being. Depending on individual needs, this may involve attention to nutrition, hormonal balance, digestive health, stress regulation, and pain sensitization. Rather than following a standard protocol, the Institute emphasizes personalized planning based on each patient's symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals.
Research represents another part of the Institute's long-term vision. Alongside clinical care, Lotus Endometriosis Institute aims to contribute to laboratory and clinical research that can improve understanding of the disease and inform future approaches to treatment.
The lotus flower in the organization's logo was chosen to represent the Institute's philosophy of transformation. For the Institute, the lotus symbolizes healing and transformation, reflecting the team's belief that endometriosis care should support the whole person.
Lotus Endometriosis Institute also places patient education at the center of its work, with resources designed to help people better understand endometriosis and available treatments.
