BackgroundVentral rectopexy has become increasingly used in the surgical management of rectal prolapse. There is a need for a contemporary evaluation of the role of the procedure and a description of its use in clinical practice.ObjectiveTo…
ObjectiveTo evaluate the rate of postoperative complications between conservative surgery and segmental resection in patients with rectal endometriosis.DesignSingle-center retrospective study.SettingUniversity hospital.Patient(s)A total of …
OBJECTIVE: To compare the value of using one-stop magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) vs standard radiological imaging as a supplement to transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) for the preoperative assessment of patients with endometriosis referre…
STUDY QUESTION: Which essential items should be recorded before, during and after endometriosis surgery and in clinical outcome based surgical trials in patients with deep endometriosis (DE)? SUMMARY ANSWER: A DE surgical sheet (DESS) was …

AIM: Laparoscopic colorectal resection results in improved cosmetic outcome and better presumed body image. Laparoscopic NOSE colectomy omits an incision for specimen extraction and is supposed to further improve postoperative cosmesis. Thi…
BACKGROUND: In laparoscopic colorectal surgery, extraction site laparotomy can be avoided by natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) resulting in less postoperative pain, shorter length of stay, and less morbidity such as wound complicat…
Endometriosis is a gynecological condition that presents as endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus and induces a chronic inflammatory reaction. Up to 15% of women in their reproductive period are affected by this condition. Deep endomet…
Over the last 20 years, laparoscopic colorectal surgery has shown equal efficacy for benign and malignant colorectal diseases when compared to open surgery. However, a laparoscopic approach reduces postoperative morbidity and shortens hospi…
STUDY QUESTION: Is there a difference between women with endometriosis who underwent laparoscopic surgery with bowel resection or without bowel resection regarding depressive symptoms, relational adjustment and sexual functioning? SUMMARY A…
Endometriosis can be considered as a chronic disease which is characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrium outside the endometrial cavity and which is associated with symptoms as pelvic pain and infertility. Medical treatment is oft…
BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic segmental bowel resection and reanastomosis for endometriosis with colorectal wall invasion can be associated with high complication rates. This study was performed to test the hypothesis that this high complication…
BACKGROUND: Multidisciplinary laparoscopic treatment is the standard of care for radical treatment of deep infiltrating pelvic endometriosis. If bowel resection is necessary, a muscle-split or Pfannenstiel incision is also required. The avo…
BACKGROUND: Transrectal specimen extraction in laparoscopic sigmoid resection avoids a muscle-split incision for specimen retrieval. A technique for transrectal specimen extraction is described, and the results of a pilot study concerning f…
BACKGROUND: Treatment of colorectal endometriosis is difficult and challenging. We reviewed the clinical outcome of surgical treatment of deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) with colorectal involvement. METHODS: Review was based upon a…
The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to evaluate clinical outcome after multidisciplinary laparoscopic excision of deep endometriosis. Patients (n = 56) were asked to complete questionnaires regarding quality of life (QOL), pain, …
It remains unclear when to perform a discoid or segmental bowel resection for large endometriotic nodules with intestinal invasion. Moreover, endometriosis series are rather small to fully evaluate functional consequences of bowel resection…
OBJECTIVES: We present a series of eight female patients who came to surgery for complicated Crohn's disease of the terminal ileum (n = 7) or colon (n = 1). Indications for surgery were medically intractable disease in three, steroid depend…
