About

H. Fishel is a leading voice in benign gynaecology, with a focused expertise on the surgical management and long-term outcomes of endometriosis. Their most-cited work, "Recurrence of endometriosis after hysterectomy" (2014, 98 citations), tackles one of the field’s most frustrating clinical challenges: persistent pelvic pain following definitive surgery. In this seminal review, Fishel critically examines the evidence on pain recurrence, weighing the impact of ovarian conservation versus removal and the type of hysterectomy performed. This contribution has been instrumental in guiding surgeons and patients through complex, often agonizing, treatment decisions. By illuminating why endometriosis can persist even after hysterectomy, Fishel has advanced the understanding that the disease is not always cured by surgery alone, emphasizing the need for comprehensive, multidisciplinary care. Their work remains a cornerstone reference for clinicians managing refractory pelvic pain, underscoring Fishel’s lasting impact on improving quality of life for patients with endometriosis.
