This study assessed the feasibility and outcomes of discoid resection for colorectal endometriosis, finding a 26.2% complication rate and 11.3% incidence of voiding dysfunction, with prior surgery independently correlating to complications.

Abstract

AIM: Using a prospective database of discoid resection performed in two tertiary referral centres, the aim of this study is to assess the feasibility, short-term complication rates and clinical outcomes, including voiding dysfunction, of the procedure. METHOD: A retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort database was conducted from February 2010 to October 2017 in two tertiary referral centres. One hundred and forty-eight consecutive patients scheduled for colorectal endometriosis by discoid resection were enrolled. The median follow-up was 21 months. All the women underwent complete preoperative assessment (MRI, transvaginal ultrasonography and rectal echo-endoscopy) before the removal of colorectal endometriosis. Postoperative complications were classified according to the Clavien-Dindo classification system as minor (grades I and II) or major (grades IIIA, IIIB and IV). Cases of voiding dysfunction were also noted. RESULTS: The procedure was abandoned in seven patients. In 91 (64.5%) of the remaining 141 patients, the diameter of discoid resection removed was ≥ 30 mm. Surgery was performed by laparoscopy in 137/141 cases (92.7%). Grade I-III complications were observed in 37 patients (26.2%) with 11 grade IIIb (7.8%). Postoperative voiding dysfunction occurred in 16 patients (11.3%), 11 of whom required self-catheterization for < 1 month. In a multivariate analysis including age, body mass index, lesion size and history of previous surgery for endometriosis, a history of previous surgery was independently correlated to complication outcome (P = 0.043). CONCLUSIONS: This analysis suggests that discoid resection is associated with good short-term results for women with colorectal endometriosis in a tertiary referral centre as it is associated with a low rate of postoperative complications.
