Expert endometriosis care helps women find answers sooner at MUSC Women’s Health
Dr. Courtney Poston uses advanced laparoscopic and robotic surgery to treat endometriosis, enabling same-day discharge and significant pain relief, benefiting patients after years of underdiagnosis.
- At MUSC Women's Health in Charleston, Poston, a fellowship-trained minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon, performed outpatient surgery in late December removing endometriosis from Stokes' bladder, colon and pelvis, and Stokes was discharged the same day.
- Specialists note endometriosis is a complex, systemic disease affecting more than 11% of U.S. women ages 15–44, with an average diagnostic delay of seven to 10 years, Poston explained.
- Using laparoscopic and robotic techniques, MUSC's multidisciplinary team employs a small camera and tissue sampling to diagnose and treat endometriosis through small incisions, enabling rapid outpatient recovery.
- Patient statements highlight that Stokes' recovery has been uncomplicated and her pain significantly improved after the procedure, and she credited Courtney Poston, M.D., with changing her life.
- Many patients encounter dismissal when told symptoms are normal, while MUSC's ranking highlights its capacity to treat complex cases involving ovaries, bladder, and bowels.
