What is the difference between ablation and excision?

  1. Ablation is when extreme heat or energy (such as with a laser or electrical current) is used to remove endometriosis lesion or scar tissue.

    Excision is when the lesion or scar tissue is physically excised, or cut, and removed from the body.
