121. Excision Surgery Considerations with Dr. John Dulemba

Today I’m speaking with Dr. John Dulemba about: —How surgeons need to understand the limitations of their skills if they don't have a lot of experience yet. —How colostomy rates for bowel endo are extremely low in hands of an expert. —Risks and other considerations when thinking about excision surgery. 🎤WHO IS DR. JOHN DULEMBA?🎤 A now retired excision surgeon who was in private practice in Denton, Texas, from 1986-2023. He performed over 7300 endometriosis surgeries, both robotically and via standard laparoscopy, so he has a lot of insight on endometriosis. 🔗RESOURCES🔗 For clickable links to the resources below, go to www.insixteenyears.com/episode121 🔗Wright J, Lotfallah H, Jones K, Lovell D.
