Endometriosis Excision Surgery & Integrative Medicine Institute Announced

The Lotus Endometriosis Institute, based in California and led by Dr. Steven Vasilev, has outlined its mission and vision for endometriosis treatment, combining robotic excision surgery with integrative medicine to address the condition through both surgical precision and whole-person care.

Arroyo Grande, United States, October 15, 2026 /PressCable/ -- The Lotus Endometriosis Institute has announced its care model, which pairs robotic excision surgery with integrative medicine as part of a single, individualized treatment plan. The Institute, led by Dr. Steven Vasilev, says the approach is designed to address both the surgical complexity of endometriosis and the whole-person needs of each patient.

The announcement comes as research continues to highlight the broader impact of endometriosis on quality of life. According to a 2025 study published in Human Reproduction, women with endometriosis reported impaired scores across sleep, depression, and distress compared to those without the condition, with effects persisting into late fertile age. The Lotus Endometriosis Institute's vision is for endometriosis to move from a condition often minimized and ignored to one that receives the precision, respect, and innovation it deserves.

The Institute connects these goals to the symbolism behind its name. According to the Institute, the lotus flower represents resilience and renewal, harmony and balance, and transformation, mirroring its emphasis on surgical care, whole-person support, and research.

Within this model, treatment plans are individualized based on each patient's symptoms, medical history, biology, and goals. Surgical, medical, and supportive strategies are tailored to individual needs, reflecting the diverse ways endometriosis can present.

For patients requiring surgery, robotic excision is a central part of the Institute's approach. These procedures use 3D visualization and wristed instruments to operate within complex pelvic and abdominal anatomy through minimally invasive techniques. Surgical services at the Institute include procedures involving the bowel, bladder, ureters, and diaphragm, with fertility preservation considered when appropriate.

Consistent with its care philosophy, the Institute incorporates integrative medicine, providing evidence-based support in nutrition, lifestyle, and mind-body medicine. Treatment may also consider hormonal balance, digestive health, stress regulation, and pain sensitization according to each patient's needs.

Beyond patient care, the Institute notes that laboratory and clinical research and education are also central to its work. Dr. Vasilev teaches advanced robotic surgery and conducts research on novel biomarkers for earlier diagnosis and recurrence monitoring. He holds board certifications in Gynecology, Gynecologic Oncology, Integrative Medicine, and Holistic Medicine, and is described on the Institute's website as the only physician in the United States to hold all four certifications.
