Dr. Redwine's method of conservative surgery is simple but painstaking. He carefully cuts out all abnormal looking tissue through the laparoscope and this takes anywhere from 2.5 to seven hours.

In 1991, he connected an electrical current to his sessions and in this way was able to reduce time in the operating room by 40 to 60 percent.

"It is," he says, "very tedious surgery, but perhaps the most challenging surgery in gynecology. It takes a while to do... you have to start out each case with a firm commitment in your mind that you're going to get all the disease. In fact, you must dislike this disease to be a good surgeon for the disease."

A woman's best chance of cure is at the first surgery, when there is the least scar tissue present, and the best view of the pelvis is possible.

Many of his patients have had multiple surgeries and drug therapies as well. "Everything was done to them," Dr. Redwine says, "except remove their disease."

He advises surgeons to remove all affected areas of the peritoneum with a wide margin around them, using three or more incisions into the abdomen. The incisions are for the laparoscope, irrigating instruments, and for a rod-like probe that he uses to move the pelvic organs to ensures he identifies and removes all disease. Dr. Redwine has found it is best to leave the peritoneum open and it will regenerate on its own.

Snipping away diseased tissue through a laparoscope equipped with scissors may achieve more precision and less trauma to tissue than laser surgery. It also allows Dr. Redwine to palpate (feel carefully for) all possible growths as well as to see them. The peritoneum is a very flexible membrane and can be pulled up and examined and cut if necessary, thus avoiding underlying structures. There is very little blood loss with this technique. This is an average loss of only 30 cc or two tablespoons.

To date, Dr. Redwine's surgery has resulted in 80 to 90 percent of women getting relief from their pain. However, some women do not have good results. In the United States there is a small but growing number of doctors using this technique. Dr. Redwine's program, even if expanded, cannot handle all the women who need this type of surgery. Dr. Redwine would like to see many more doctors use this approach.

The first step for interested gynecologists is to start using the near contact lap method and biopsy all suspicious lesions in the peritoneum. In this way, the individual surgeon can see for himself or herself whether Dr. Redwine's theories have any validity.

In fact, several Canadian physicians have visited Dr. Redwine and observed his work. Canadian women from five provinces have been making the trip to Oregon and obtaining excellent results.

In December 1989, Alberta became the first jurisdiction in Canada to approve Dr. Redwine's conservative surgery for use by the province's doctors. While doctors are being trained in his techniques, the government is paying for the expenses of women who go to Oregon.

Dr. John Jarrell, head of obstetrics and gynecology at Foothills Hospital in Calgary, said in the Calgary Herald that he expects that there will be an initiative from physicians in Alberta soon:

"Aside from Dr. Redwine and a few other doctors, not many doctors have a good data base. There is a growing interest, and I have a sense there will be some changes and the government will be responsive."

"That does not mean people will stop using drugs. It will depend on the needs of patients. A lot of time is spent deciding on one over another and looking at side effects. But there is a ground swell of appreciation that the medicine is nowhere near effective as touted."

Dr. Redwine believes women should use their consumer power to make sure doctors are aware of the many and varied appearances of endometriosis and the most effective ways of removing and destroying it. He believes women should resist expensive drug treatments that do not destroy the disease nor alter its course.
