Amy speaks with Kate Boyce about:

—how excision surgery is operator dependent, meaning that it depends on the surgeon’s skills.

—how there are very few excision surgeons in the world with the top level skill, and many regular OBGYNs with no extra surgical training, and then surgeons at different skill levels in between those.

—what to look for in a surgeon, so that we can know what questions to ask and how to determine if our surgeon has the necessary skills to excise our endo.
