AR tech prepares patients for endometriosis surgery

The images are used in consultations to show what happens to the womb, ovaries and fallopian tubes.

📋 What this means for you AI-generated plain English summary
What it means:** Doctors can now use special technology to show you a 3D picture of what's happening inside your body before endometriosis surgery, so you understand exactly what the procedure will involve.
What to do:** Ask your doctor if they can use this technology during your consultationβ€”it can help you feel more prepared and confident about your surgery by seeing the problem area beforehand.
Key takeaway:** This new tool helps patients make better decisions about their treatment because they can actually see where the endometriosis is affecting their womb, ovaries, and fallopian tubes instead of just hearing about it.

Always speak to your doctor before making any changes to your health or treatment.
