Large ovarian endometriomas may cause severe pressure symptoms and often require surgical management. The laparoscopic approach, although challenging, is feasible and safe when performed by surgeons with advanced minimal access skills, prov…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: Deep endometriotic lesions may involve the deep parametrium, which is highly vascular and includes numerous somatic and autonomous nerves [1,2]. Surgeons who dissect in this area must always be prepared to deal with major b…

BackgroundAdvanced gynaecological procedures often include extensive pelvic dissections, with the nervous structures involved in the disease. Nerve-sparing and preservation is a key factor in reducing postoperative morbidity.ObjectivesThe g…

ObjectiveTo demonstrate the advantages of the fluorescence-guided surgery using indocyanine green (ICG) in the management of deep endometriotic nodules toward more complete and safe excision of the disease in cases when rectal shaving is pe…

ObjectiveThe objective of this video is to demonstrate different clinical presentations of peritoneal defects (peritoneal retraction pockets) and their anatomic relationships with the pelvic innervation, justifying the occurrence of some ne…
