Dr. Faraj Touchan Recognized Again as a New Jersey Top Doc
PRM is proud to announce that Dr. Faraj Touchan, fellowship-trained minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon and endometriosis excision specialist, has once again been named a New Jersey Top Doc, recognizing his continued excellence in the surgical treatment of endometriosis, complex pelvic pain, and advanced minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.
The annual New Jersey Top Docs recognition honors physicians who demonstrate exceptional clinical expertise, outstanding patient care, and a commitment to advancing their specialty.
For patients living with endometriosis, this recognition reflects more than an award, it highlights the importance of seeking experienced surgeons who specialize in complex excision surgery and comprehensive pelvic pain care.
Meet Dr. Faraj Touchan
Dr. Touchan is a fellowship-trained minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon (MIGS) who specializes in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of endometriosis, complex pelvic pain, fibroids, and other complex gynecologic conditions.
He performs surgery at:
- Chilton Medical Center – Atlantic Health System
- Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center
- RWJ Barnabas Health – Clara Maass Medical Center
- Englewood Hospital
With more than a decade of experience, Dr. Touchan performs over 250 complex gynecologic procedures each year, including more than 600 robotic-assisted surgeries for advanced gynecologic conditions.
His expertise includes treating deep infiltrating endometriosis, including disease affecting the:
- Bowel
- Bladder
- Ureters
- Pelvic sidewall
- Other complex pelvic structures
Because advanced endometriosis often extends beyond the reproductive organs, successful treatment frequently requires specialized surgical expertise and multidisciplinary care.
Why Experience Matters in Endometriosis Surgery
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects approximately 1 in 10 women and individuals assigned female at birth during their reproductive years.
Although common, diagnosis is often delayed by 7–10 years, allowing symptoms to worsen over time.
Patients may experience:
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Severe menstrual pain
- Pain during intercourse
- Bowel and bladder symptoms
- Infertility
- Fatigue
- Pain with exercise or prolonged sitting
Not every gynecologic surgeon specializes in complex endometriosis excision.
Advanced disease can involve the bowel, bladder, ureters, diaphragm, and pelvic nerves, making experience critical for surgical planning and treatment.
For many patients, finding a surgeon with extensive experience in excision surgery can significantly impact long-term outcomes.
Comprehensive Endometriosis Care at PRM
At PRM, surgery is one component of a comprehensive treatment approach.
Patients undergoing endometriosis surgery receive coordinated care designed to improve both immediate recovery and long-term outcomes.
This multidisciplinary model may include:
- Comprehensive evaluation
- Endometriosis excision surgery
- The PRM Protocol™ before and after surgery
- Pelvic floor rehabilitation
- Treatment of inflamed pelvic nerves and muscles
- Long-term symptom management
The PRM Protocol™ is an office-based treatment that addresses chronic pelvic pain by targeting inflamed pelvic nerves and tight pelvic floor muscles that may continue contributing to pain before or after surgery.
By combining surgical expertise with rehabilitation and pelvic pain treatment, PRM aims to help patients recover more completely and improve overall quality of life.
A Commitment to Better Patient Outcomes
Reflecting on the recognition, Dr. Touchan shared:
“Patients with endometriosis deserve more than a successful operation. They deserve a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses the full impact of this disease and helps them return to living their lives.”
His philosophy reflects PRM’s mission of reducing the time patients suffer through earlier diagnosis, multidisciplinary care, and personalized treatment plans.
As one of PRM’s National Centers of Excellence surgeons, Dr. Touchan works closely with pelvic pain specialists to ensure patients receive coordinated care throughout every stage of treatment.
Congratulations, Dr. Touchan
Being named a New Jersey Top Doc for a second consecutive year recognizes Dr. Touchan’s dedication to advancing endometriosis care and improving the lives of patients living with chronic pelvic pain.
Congratulations to Dr. Faraj Touchan on this well-deserved recognition and for his continued commitment to compassionate, evidence-based care.
