Why Our Expert Excision Surgeons Are at AAGL 2025 (And What It Means for Your Endometriosis Surgery)
This week, the world’s most innovative gynecologic surgeons—including expert endometriosis excision surgeons—are gathering in Vancouver, Canada, for the 54th AAGL Global Congress. AAGL is the premier organization dedicated to advancing minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS), and this event is where the future of our field is decided.
While you won’t be in the conference halls, the decisions and breakthroughs discussed there have a direct, powerful impact on your health journey. As a patient seeking the best endometriosis surgery, you deserve to know that your surgical team is not just aware of the latest standards but is actively helping to set them.
That is why the leadership team from ESSI, including our founder Dr. Andrea Vidali, is at AAGL 2025 right now.
Why AAGL Matters for Endometriosis Patients
The AAGL is the “gold standard” organization for our specialty. It’s where surgeons who are committed to improving care for conditions like endometriosis come together to share new research, challenge old ideas, and present the most advanced surgical techniques.
It’s one of the key places where the clear superiority of expert excision surgery (our standard of care) is reinforced with long-term data, and where generalists can learn from the masters of endometriosis surgery.
This Year’s Theme: AI, Precision, and Progress
The theme for AAGL 2025 is “Precision, Progress, and the Power of AI: Shaping the Future of Women’s Health.”
This isn’t just a tech buzzword. It’s a fundamental shift in how we approach complex surgery. For an endometriosis patient, this focus translates into very real benefits.
| AAGL 2025 Focus | What This Means for Your Endometriosis Care |
| “Precision” (Surgical Tech) | Debates on new robotic tools and 4K imaging that help an expert excision surgeon perform a more thorough endometriosis surgery while protecting delicate nerves. |
| “Progress” (New Research) | Sharing new data on how to improve fertility outcomes and long-term quality of life after endometriosis surgery. |
| “Power of AI” (Innovation) | Using AI to potentially help diagnose endometriosis from an MRI sooner or to create 3D surgical maps before your procedure. |
| Global Collaboration | An ESSI surgeon can learn a new nerve-sparing technique from a specialist in Europe, bringing a world of expertise to your care. |
Our Commitment to You
We don’t go to AAGL just to be a part of the medical community; we go to be a voice for our patients. Every session on AI and precision is a new opportunity for our expert excision surgeons to refine their techniques, ensuring your endometriosis surgery is the most thorough and advanced it can possibly be.
As Dr. Vidali said, “AAGL is where the global standard of surgical care is defined and elevated. The focus on AI and precision this year is critical—it aligns perfectly with our mission to use every advanced tool to achieve the most thorough, nerve-sparing endometriosis surgery possible. We are honored to be part of this vital conversation.”
“I’m thrilled to be heading to AAGL. For me, it’s about accelerating the path to healing. Patients wait far too long for a correct diagnosis. I’m most excited about the innovations in AI and imaging that can help us find this disease sooner. A faster diagnosis means we can get a patient to a life-changing endometriosis surgery years earlier, and that’s the future of endometriosis care.”
