In this report, we describe two cases of diaphragmatic endometriosis with concurrent hepatorenal recess peritoneal involvement managed using robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery with the da Vinci Xi platform. In both patients, …
Catamenial pneumothorax (CP) is a rare form of spontaneous pneumothorax associated with thoracic endometriosis. We report a case of CP with histologically proven diaphragmatic endometriosis successfully managed by combined surgical …
The objective was to assess outcomes of robotic-assisted transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (RA-vNOTES) performed for hysterectomy and endometriosis excision. We conducted a retrospective case series across two hospitals …
