Endometriosis is a benign gynecologic affection that may lead to major surgeries, such as colorectal resections. Rectovaginal fistulas (RVF) are among the possible complications. When they occur, it is necessary to adapt the repair surgery …

OBJECTIVE: To describe a combined robotic and transanal technique used to treat ultralow rectal endometriosis in a 36-year-old patient with multiple pelvic compartments, which was responsible for infertility, dyspareunia, left sciatic pain,…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the long-term risk of repeated surgery in women undergoing complete excision of endometriosis by an experienced surgeon and to identify circumstances leading up to repeat surgery. DESIGN: Retrospective study based on d…

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…

OBJECTIVE: To describe the robotic full-thickness rectal excision using a transanal circular stapler in rectovaginal endometriosis nodule infiltrating the rectum >3 cm. DESIGN: Surgical video article. The local institutional review board w…

AIM: The aim was to compare postoperative complications in patients undergoing the excision of a rectal endometriotic nodule over 3 cm by a robotic-assisted versus a conventional laparoscopic approach. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective…

OBJECTIVE: To present the robotic, standardized, and reproducible surgical technique we routinely use in our center to manage isolated endometriosis of the sciatic nerve. DESIGN: Surgical video article. SETTING: Tertiary referral center. …

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To compare the postoperative outcomes and the overall expenses between conventional laparoscopy and robotic surgery, in a series of consecutive patients managed for only severe endometriosis in our institute. DESIGN: A coh…

Ovarian endometriomas have a negative impact on a patient's reproductive potential and are likely to cause a reduction in ovarian reserve. The most commonly employed ovarian reserve parameters are anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and antral fol…

BACKGROUND: The discovery of a saliva-based micro–ribonucleic acid (miRNA) signature for endometriosis in 2022 opened up new perspectives for early and noninvasive diagnosis of the disease. The 109-miRNA saliva signature is the product of m…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To report a large series including women managed by disk excision using end-to-end anastomosis (EEA) circular transanal stapler to assess the feasibility of the technique, the features of nodules suitable for removal by dis…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To compare postoperative complications and rectovaginal fistula rate in women undergoing excision of large rectovaginal endometriosis requiring concomitant excision of rectum and vagina during 2 time periods with differing …

STUDY: Objective: To evaluate the impact of laparoscopic sclerotherapy on the management of endometrioma during surgery for deep infiltrative endometriosis (DIE). DESIGN: Observational study. SETTING: Tivoli-Ducos Clinic, Bordeaux. PATIE…

ObjectiveTo present 10 consecutive, standardized, and reproducible surgical steps for laparoscopic sclerotherapy of an endometrioma.DesignStep-by-step video demonstration of the technique. Local institutional review board approval was not r…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To describe our experience with the use of natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) technique for segmental bowel resection in patients with colorectal endometriosis. DESIGN: A retrospective, observational study. SETTIN…

OBJECTIVE: To compare differences in the postoperative pregnancy rate in women seeking to conceive and presenting with endometriomas larger than 3 cm in diameter, which were managed by ablation using plasma energy, cystectomy, or simple dra…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed at assessing perioperative results of robot-assisted laparoscopy (RAL) in the context of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). METHODS: This retrospective French multicentric study included all patients with DI…
