To describe a novel laparoscopic technique, prophylactic ureteral suturing (PUS), developed to reinforce structurally weakened ureteral segments following extensive ureterolysis for deep endometriosis, to avoid segmental resection or reimplantation.
Background: Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and, in particular, bowel endometriosis stand out for their complexity. While surgery for bowel endometriosis has proven to be effective, there is a lack of …
The aim of this study was to compare surgical outcomes of two laparoscopic techniques for bowel endometriosis and determine the optimal laparoscopic segmental resection technique with mesentery preservation.
To evaluate whether patient age influences the complexity of the surgical approach for bowel endometriosis, including the technique performed and the route of specimen extraction. Methods: Retrospective, multicenter observational study, …
We conducted a comparative retrospective bicentric study of rectal endometriosis treatment with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and surgery in terms of symptoms and treatment-related morbidity at 6 months.
