-- Lotus Endometriosis Institute has announced Integrative Endometriosis Surgery, an expansion of its holistic care model that unites precision excision surgery with board-certified integrative medicine into one continuous plan. Rather than treating holistic support as an optional add-on, the institute applies it across every stage of care, reflecting the latest medical research on the disease. The model targets women with complex or persistent endometriosis symptoms who have not found lasting relief through prior treatment.

"The distinction between excision and other surgical approaches matters for patients weighing their options," says Dr. Steven Vasilev, M.D., founder of Lotus Endometriosis Institute. He notes that excision surgery removes disease at its root rather than surface level.
Recent research suggests this provides a more durable path toward reduced pain and improved fertility due to the lower recurrence rate associated with this surgical approach. The Institute's integrative therapies work alongside this precision surgery to address underlying drivers of symptoms, such as inflammation and hormonal imbalance, rather than masking discomfort temporarily. A 2026 review of surgical management supports this broader approach, recommending that treatment be tailored to disease phenotype, symptom severity, and reproductive goals, with complex deep-infiltrating disease managed in specialized centers with multidisciplinary expertise.
Dr. Vasilev leads the development of this mode, with board certification in four disciplines: Obstetrics & Gynecology, Gynecologic Oncology, Integrative Medicine, and Integrative & Holistic Medicine, a combination which is rare among physicians in the United States who focus on endometriosis. His background includes decades of work advancing the minimally invasive and robotic excision techniques now offered by the Lotus Institute.
That training shapes how Integrative Endometriosis Surgery is structured across the full care timeline. The model begins with detailed evaluation before surgery, continues through robotic excision itself, and extends into coordinated integrative strategies during recovery. Each plan is built around the individual patient's biology, symptoms, and goals, spanning disease severity from early-stage to complex, multi-organ involvement.
About Lotus Endometriosis Institute
The California-based Lotus Endometriosis Institute pairs precise surgery with holistic recovery, with the objective of supporting patients before surgery and throughout recovery rather than limiting care to the surgical procedure itself. Women managing complex or persistent endometriosis symptoms are invited to schedule a consultation to determine whether this model fits their needs.
