Instytut Endometriozy: more details about the clinic
Poland, Wroclaw
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.

I wholeheartedly recommend the Endometriosis Institute in Wrocław. ❤️
For over 10 years, I was trying to find the answer to the question of what was really wrong with me. I visited consecutive doctors, had tests done, and for years I remained without the correct diagnosis. Only last year did I find my way to the Endometriosis Institute, and during the examination—already after just a few seconds—I heard the diagnosis I had been waiting for for more than a decade.
One and a half months ago, I underwent surgery performed by dr Mikołaj Karmowski and dr Łukasz Kotarski. I’m incredibly grateful to both doctors for their professionalism, knowledge, precision, and above all for the sense of safety they gave me.
The entire staff of the Institute deserves huge thanks as well. From the very first contact, through the coordinator, all the way to care in the hospital and later recovery, I was met with great kindness, empathy, and genuine interest. Everyone I had contact with was helpful, patient, and simply human.
Postoperative care here is truly at the highest level!
Thank you to the whole team of the Endometriosis Institute for their professionalism, heart, and care. With full conviction, I recommend this place to every woman who has been searching for a diagnosis and the right help for years. ❤️

I would like to thank the entire team from the bottom of my heart for their professionalism, tremendous commitment, and care at the highest level. I’m an incredibly grateful patient, because I was in the hands of people who not only diagnosed me very well, but also explained the entire treatment process to me in a detailed and calm manner.
I was a very difficult case, and even more so I truly appreciate the immense work, knowledge, and dedication that went into my treatment. I am immensely grateful to Dr. Karmowski and Dr. Kotarski for saving my life. This is something I will never forget.
The care provided by the whole team—doctors, dietitians, physiotherapists, and the coordinators—also deserves great recognition: Ms. Madzia and Ms. Daria ❤️. Everyone is incredibly kind, friendly, empathetic, and always ready to help. From the very beginning, I felt that I was in good hands and that my health is genuinely important to them.
I wholeheartedly recommend this place to everyone who is looking for professional, comprehensive, and above all human, compassionate care. I’m extremely grateful for the help, the care, and the second chance. Thank you for saving my life! ❤️

As you read this review, you’re probably wondering the same thing I was a few months ago: whether it’s worth spending these unbelievably huge amounts of money on surgery at the Instytut [Institute], because after all, you can get treatment on NFZ.
tl;dr: IT’S WORTH IT.
The level of competence, commitment, and doctors’ knowledge at the Instytut Endometriozy is—overly—very, very high.
I’m 4 months after the surgery and I don’t regret either the decision to have the procedure or a single złoty spent on it.
After years of going from one gynecologist’s office to another, and also after preliminary pre-surgery consultations on NFZ, where I was even told that my problems are too complex for surgery and that I’d better keep taking hormones that don’t help, it was only dr. Karmowski who made the right diagnosis and didn’t hesitate to operate. What’s more, he saw on ultrasound right away changes that no gynecologist before him had noticed, and he discussed with me what they mean.
If you don’t like dr. Karmowski’s vibe, book an appointment with dr. Rubisz or dr. Kotarski. They are all great, experienced specialists.
The care and comfort before, during, and after the surgery feels more like a nice holiday resort than a hospital. You get answers to every question—you know what’s happening and, importantly, WHY.
I don’t know if you can imagine it or if you still remember what life without pain is like—I didn’t. And now I’m discovering the world again and I’m enjoying every day like a child.

After long searches and being passed from doctor to doctor, I finally found the Endometriosis Institute in Wrocław. Only here Dr Mikołaj Karmowski❤️ made a specific diagnosis and offered real help. I decided to undergo surgery.
The surgery itself turned out to be very long, difficult, and involved a high risk of complications.
The operation was carried out at the highest level by two outstanding doctors ❤️ Mikołaj Karmowski, ❤️Łukasz Kotarski, who did everything they could to give me a chance at a healthy life without pain.
My attending doctor was Dr Mikołaj Karmowski❤️. With a clear conscience, I can say one word about him: a Master!
During my long stay in the ward, I didn’t feel, even for a moment, that I was left to my own devices. The doctor gave me enormous support and a sense of safety. He was interested in my health condition—humanly, with care and heart.
I am extremely grateful to the entire medical team for their care—for full professionalism, but also for ordinary, warm kindness.
Thank you❣️

20 years of living in pain, an enormously long list of doctors who told me that nothing was wrong with me, that it’s just my appearance, that it’s supposed to hurt... I ended up with DR. MIKOŁAJ KARMOWSKI! It took literally just a few minutes, and I knew everything. Thank you, Mr. Doctor, for your professionalism, for the quick diagnosis, for the support—also mentally, for understanding and for care. Thank you for answering your phone at any time whenever I needed information and when uncertainty crept in. Thank you for a new life! There wasn’t time to think—it was a quick decision and surgery... today I’m more than two months after the operation. I feel like I’m living—stronger, more... without pain. It’s also worth mentioning the whole Institute. Everything is at the highest level—the girls at reception are very empathetic. Madziu, thank you to you as well for everything!

The appointment confirmed my earlier symptoms and at the same time expanded the diagnostics with another direction, so I know what the next steps will be. I feel like I’ve finally found a place where someone looked at my problem as a whole and with great commitment.

Dr Karmowski is the best specialist for endometriosis. I decided to go for a follow-up visit with an endometriosis doctor on the NFZ and I’m very sorry—I wasted time and nerves. Luckily, Dr Karmowski clarified everything and explained it. Thanks to his surgery, I have a little daughter; I’ll always be grateful to this team 💗

I wholeheartedly recommend the Institute of Endometriosis in Wrocław. From the very first contact, I felt that I was in the best hands :)
Dr Rubisz deserves special recognition—he guided me throughout the entire course of my treatment and performed the surgery. He is an outstanding specialist with vast experience, and at the same time a doctor full of empathy, patience, and dedication. He explains everything thoroughly, answers every question, and makes the patient feel safe. Because of him, I felt that I was in the best hands ;)!
Just as much praise is due to Dr. Kotarski, who also took part in my surgery. The professionalism and experience of both doctors inspire enormous trust.
As for the anesthesiology team—extremely professional, kind, and caring about the patient’s comfort and calmness before the procedure. After all, I’m not afraid of anesthesia from the moment of the procedure ;)
A huge advantage of this place is also the nursing staff. Every person in the team was smiling, warm, helpful, and full of empathy. You can see that they are people who work with a calling—able to create an atmosphere that provides a sense of safety and being cared for.
Of course, Ms Magda and Daria from customer service also deserve the highest rating. Professional, polite, and always ready to help—everything runs smoothly and without any problems throughout the entire organizational process.
The Institute of Endometriosis in Wrocław is a place created by exceptional specialists and wonderful staff. The high level of medical care, professionalism, empathy, and an individual approach to the patient mean that I can confidently recommend this place to every woman.
My hospital stay is 100/10. The food was also great ;) Warm greetings!

From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank the entire team of the Instytut Endometriozy for the care I received—from my very first appointment through the postoperative period. After years of searching for answers and repeatedly having my symptoms dismissed, I finally found a place where I was truly listened to and taken seriously. For the first time, I didn’t hear that I was “overreacting,” that “this is just how I am,” or that everything was in my head. I was thoroughly examined and correctly diagnosed—adenomyosis and endometriosis. Just hearing the right diagnosis was an enormous relief.
The perioperative care was at the highest level. Before the surgery, I felt cared for, calm, and well prepared. After the surgery, I had constant contact and the feeling that I wasn’t left to deal with everything on my own. This genuinely gives great comfort and a sense of security.
Special thanks go to Dr Karmowski and Dr Rubisz—for their professionalism, vast knowledge, empathy, and human approach. They are doctors who don’t just treat, but above all listen to the patient and look at her problem holistically.
Thank you for restoring my sense that my symptoms were real and deserved help. I wholeheartedly recommend this to every woman who is still searching for answers and wants to be treated with the proper attention.
