  I am 4 weeks post surgery with Dr. Vidali. I feel better each day! I wish I met him sooner. In 2023, I went through extensive endometreosis workup at two major NYC hospitals and was not offered clinical advice for multiple symptoms that I have had for years. I started to believe there was no one skilled or confident to perform my laparoscopy and excisional surgery. I was living with chronic abdominal pain, back pain 9/10, endo belly/adeno belly 24/7, GI issues, chronic fatigue and nausea. Dr. Vidali was the first doctor who was paying attention to my history and pain. He is warm, kind and intelligent. He is excellent at reviewing the imaging and listening, he found things in minutes that the radiologists missed. His passion for this diagnosis and raising awareness is why I trusted him to do my surgery. He works with an enthusiastic team who makes you feel comfortable and safe. While I was in recovery on a Friday evening, he went to the waiting room and sat with my caretaker to explain the surgery in detail and how I was doing. The nurses, office and billing staff were all professional, prompt and available. I have only good things to say!  If you are local or have to travel a far distance to meet him, it is worth it! He is the best.

  Where do I begin? After years of being dismissed and medically gaslit by doctors, it is an overwhelming feeling to be in Dr. Vidali's care. He is the kind of physician that not only listens to his patients but believes their concerns and symptoms are valid. He is also honest and will give you the (blunt) truth which is also rare in this field. He is the best at what he does. Even after asking my previous doctor multiple times about excrutiating period pains and other classic endo symptoms, my concerns were just brushed off. Meanwhile, it took Dr. Vidali 20 seconds of looking at my MRI images to diagnose me with endometriosis. He is the most skilled endo surgeon out there. The staff at Jersey City Medical Center and his surgical team incl. Dr. Raccuia and Dr. Larish are all a well oiled machine. You truly feel like you are in the best of hands. I travelled from out of state to have my laparoscopy with them and the entire process was smooth. I had stage 3-4 endo with extensive endometriosis and yet experienced no pain post surgery. Dr. Vidali called me several times before flying back home to personally check on me. I would not have a laparascopy with anyone else and recommend him to anyone suffering from endo symptoms! My only regret is that I wish I had seen him years ago!
Thank you Dr. Vidali!

  Having my surgery with Dr. Vidali was the absolute best decision. Such a genuine and caring doctor! All of his staff are equally as wonderful! I had a complex stage 4 case of endometriosis that included a bowel resection and after too many years of suffering and mistreatment/misdiagnosis, I literally feel like a new woman. Don't go anywhere else. ❤

  Dr. Vidali is an excellent and caring physician. He takes the time to listen to his patients’ experiences and answer all questions. He is very knowledgeable, skilled, and very kind. He addressed all follow up concerns  promptly and helped with anything that came up after surgery. I had very little pain after an extensive endometriosis surgery, and I believe that is due to his skill and planning. Thank you, Dr. Vidali!

  After trying everything else, Dr. Vidali did my excision six months ago and I’ve never felt better. I went from 10 out of 10 pain to 0 out of 10 pain these last six months, which has never happened in over 20 years. I’m a new person. It’s a totally different life without pain, fatigue, GI issues. I’ll be forever grateful.

  If I could give Dr. Vidali 100 stars, I would. The summer of 2022 I started having debilitating periods with slowly got worse. It went from mild pain during my period to daily pain that disturbed my life. In 2023 I had multiple ultrasounds to be told that everything was unremarkable and the only way to help was hormonal birth control. I tried every type of birth control out there and it would work for a few months until I found myself in pain that continued to get more severe.  I finally switched OB-Gyn doctors and was told I might have endometriosis. I knew I had to not only go to an OB-Gyn but one who specializes specifically with endometriosis excision surgery. I live near Boston and consulted with the amazing team up here(will leave them nameless but I think they are great), but the wait for surgery was about 14 months out. I couldn’t wait that long with my deteriorating condition. I found Dr. Vidali from a friend who went to him. I filled out the forms and in 48 hours had an in person consultation scheduled for 8 days later. His office staff was warm and welcoming, answering my questions prior to my appointment. Dr. Vidali spent an hour with me which included an ultrasound where he immediately saw what looked like adenomyosis. He laid out a few possible treatment plans for me and gave me all the pros and cons. He was confident he could get me out of the pain I was in daily and my life back. I felt heard, validated, and understood. I scheduled surgery for 7 weeks later. The nurses and office staff answered all my questions no matter how minor they were. I went into surgery with debilitating back pain that started in my lower back and would extend at the worst of times up to my neck and down to my knees. I was in constant pelvic pain. I barely slept because of how uncomfortable I was. I had daily issues with my GI track no matter what I did. I came out of surgery after a hysterectomy, appendectomy, and excision of endometriosis with absolutely no back pain. I am currently almost 4 weeks post operation with no back pain, my GI problems are basically resolved, and I do not have any more pelvic pain like before. I have normal pain from healing from a major surgery but still feel better than I have in years. Dr. Vidali and his staff continue to communicate with me, and respond quickly to anything I need. I cannot thank him enough for giving me my life back.

  I had excision surgery with Dr. Vidali this past April and HIGHLY recommend him to anyone struggling with endo. I have stage IV disease involving many organs and he was able excise it all while keeping my fertility intact. He is highly skilled with excellent bedside manner and checked in on me several times post-op to made sure I was recovering well. I am 3 weeks out and feel incredible. His team coordinators were also well organized and spelled out every step of the process along the way.

  I credit Dr. Vidali with my pregnancy success after a history of recurrent miscarriage. I messaged him upon a positive pregnancy test, knowing I needed immune treatment to avoid another miscarriage. He quickly looked over my labs and prescribed medication. His wonderful nurse Linda made sure to get the script in ASAP so I could have it overnighted. All of this happened while I was anticipating my upcoming consult with Dr. Vidali. I’m forever grateful he took time out of his day (in between cases) to help me. Dr. Vidali’s advocacy for women battling infertility related disease and immune issues is unmatched — a true hero for many, including myself!

Surgery for Endometriosis Related Infertility

Endometriosis is a condition that affects millions of women worldwide and can cause a range of complications, including infertility. While some women with endometriosis may be able to conceive with fertility treatments alone, others may require surgery to improve their chances of pregnancy. In this blog post, we will discuss how surgery can be used to treat endometriosis related infertility and how Dr. Andrea Vidali, a world-renowned surgeon specializing in endometriosis excision surgery and infertility treatment, can help.

Understanding the Relationship Between Endometriosis and Infertility

Endometriosis can cause infertility in a number of ways. The misplaced tissue can cause inflammation and scarring, which can interfere with ovulation, fertilization, and implantation. The tissue can also affect the function of the ovaries and fallopian tubes, making it difficult for the egg and sperm to meet. Endometriosis can also alter the hormonal environment of the reproductive system, affecting the quality of the egg and sperm.

The Role of Surgery in Treating Endometriosis-Related Infertility

Surgery is often necessary to remove endometrial tissue and restore normal function to the reproductive organs in women. Choosing a highly experienced surgeon who specializes in laparoscopic excision surgery is of paramount importance. This surgery is a minimally invasive technique that allows for the precise removal of endometrial tissue while preserving healthy tissue. By removing the tissue, the surgeon can improve the chances of conception by improving the function of the ovaries and fallopian tubes and reducing inflammation and scarring.

Preparing for Surgery

If you are considering surgery for endometriosis-related infertility, it is important to work with a specialist to ensure the best possible outcome. They will provide guidance on how to prepare for surgery, including recommendations for diet, exercise, and other lifestyle changes that can improve your chances of success.

The endometriosis surgery process typically involves the following steps:

Anesthesia: Before surgery, the patient is given anesthesia to ensure they are comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure.
Incisions: The surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdomen, through which they will insert specialized surgical instruments.
Visualization: The surgeon inserts a laparoscope, a thin tube with a camera and light, through one of the incisions. The camera allows the surgeon to visualize the endometrial tissue and surrounding organs.
Removal of Tissue: Using specialized surgical instruments, the surgeon carefully removes the endometrial tissue while preserving healthy tissue. The technique used depends on the location and extent of the endometrial growth.
Closure: After the tissue is removed, the surgeon closes the incisions with sutures or adhesive strips.
Recovery: Patients are monitored closely after surgery and are typically discharged the same day. Recovery time varies, but most patients can return to normal activities within a few days to a week.

Overall, laparoscopic excision surgery is a highly effective treatment for endometriosis, with a low risk of complications and a high success rate in improving fertility.

Recovery and Aftercare

After surgery, it is important to follow your doctors instructions for recovery and aftercare. This may include taking pain medication, resting, and avoiding strenuous activity for a period of time. Your surgeon will also provide guidance on how to optimize your chances of conception after surgery, including recommendations for fertility treatments and lifestyle changes.

Endometriosis-related infertility can be a frustrating and distressing problem for women, but with the right diagnosis and treatment, many women go on to have healthy pregnancies. Dr. Andrea Vidali has helped countless women achieve their dream of starting a family through his expertise in endometriosis excision surgery and infertility treatment.
