The Endometriosis Institute operates within EuroMediCare Specialist Hospital in Wrocław, Poland.
This specialized unit was established in 2002 inside a larger multi-profile hospital.
Specialist Team and International Affiliations
The institute has a medical team of 18 doctors.
These specialists hold memberships in prominent professional organizations:
- European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy
- European Endometriosis League
- Polish Society of Gynaecologists and Obstetricians
Dr. Lukasz Kotarski holds a Masterclass certificate from the European Endometriosis League. Dr. Mikolaj Karmowski has over 20 years of gynecological surgery experience. Dr. Piotr Rubisz received a Rector's Award from the Medical University of Wroclaw. The specialists also lead medical training workshops across Poland.
Endometriosis Diagnostics and Surgical Care
The institute provides a multi-stage care pathway for women with endometriosis. Early mapping is vital since untreated disease can cause systemic issues.
If left unmanaged, endometriosis may lead to:
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Infertility or sterility
- Intestinal complications
- Kidney dysfunction
Diagnostics begin with a detailed interview during the initial visit. Physicians then perform internal palpation to check for deep tissue infiltrates.
This physical exam evaluates several anatomical areas:
- The reproductive organs
- The urinary bladder
- The large intestine
- Pelvic ligament and nerve structures
Surgeons specialize in laparoscopic surgery. This approach uses small keyhole incisions instead of open wounds.
The clinic prioritizes the First Shot Surgery concept for primary operations. When the first surgery is done correctly, recurrence risk drops. The surgical team removes at least 95% of visible lesions, and laparoscopic techniques help preserve vital pelvic functions.
Interdisciplinary Support and Rehabilitation
The treatment plan combines surgery with coordinated supportive therapies.
Physiotherapy begins before the procedure. Pre-operative sessions cover breathing techniques and safe movement guidance. After surgery, rehabilitation helps patients restore physical activity step by step.
The rehabilitation protocol includes:
- Targeted breathing exercises
- Safe methods for getting out of bed
- Early upright positioning to stimulate circulation
- Individualized therapy for scars and adhesions
Dietitians provide personalized nutrition plans to support healing.
Mental health specialists offer dedicated support within the institute. Psychological care addresses conditions caused by chronic illness:
- Anxiety management
- Stress reduction
- Depression support
Psychiatrists run regular meetings to monitor mental health and educate patients.
Diagnostic Equipment and Surgical Technology
The hospital uses specific imaging technology to locate endometrial lesions.
The primary diagnostic tool is transvaginal ultrasound with a gel cushion. Specialists use it to determine lesion size and organ invasion. When necessary, doctors expand the evaluation with transrectal ultrasound.
Operating rooms feature laparoscopic systems with 4K or 3D visualization. These high-resolution displays provide clear views of the operative field.
The facility contains a fully equipped central diagnostic department. Patients have access to multiple procedures:
- Pelvic ultrasound and endo-ultrasound
- Pelvic computed tomography (CT) scans
- Densitometry – bone density scans
- Urodynamics – bladder function tests
- Hysteroscopy – internal uterine examination
- Gastroscopy with tissue biopsy
- Colonoscopy – large intestine examination
- Periapical dental X-rays
Laboratory tests are completed on-site before scheduling any surgery.
Services for International Patients
The institute provides logistical help for patients traveling from abroad.
An Individual Patient Coordinator guides women through qualification stages. Hospital coordinators then manage logistics throughout the entire stay.
Slawomir Nowak heads the Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Unit. He provides detailed information about anesthesia preparation.
Patient rooms are small, quiet, and private. They include:
- Spacious attached bathrooms
- Individual air conditioning
- Dedicated rest areas
- Complimentary tea and coffee
Coordinators remain available during post-operative recovery at the hospital.
