Contributing to the Future of Endometriosis Care

At Lotus Endometriosis Institute, clinical excellence and academic inquiry go hand in hand. Dr. Vasilev's work extends beyond the operating room — contributing to the body of research that shapes how endometriosis is understood, diagnosed, and treated, and helping train the next generation of minimally invasive gynecologic surgeons. These efforts reflect a core belief: that better outcomes for patients start with better science and better-prepared surgeons.
