Excision surgery and uterosacral ligaments

I've been reading a lot of stories on here about women who have butt and/or leg pain with their endometriosis. I've also read that for these women, endometriosis was found on their uterosacral ligaments. Once removed, they experienced pain relief.

What I'm wondering is - is this a spot that most specialists routinely check? or is it something that is discussed between the surgeon and patient prior to surgery?

I have my first excision coming up and I'm wondering if she'll be checking this area.

(I have of course sent the care team a message) but I'd like to know others experience as well.

Thank you ladies! 💕
