Abstract

Hysterectomy in cases with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) poses a particular challenge represented by the lack of standardization, causing technical difficulties or incomplete resection of the deep endometriosis lesions. AIM: This article attempts to use the concept of lateral and antero-posterior virtual compartments in the standardization of robotic hysterectomy (RH) in cases of deep parametrial lesions according to ENZIAN classification. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The hysterectomy and parametrial dissection must be done according to the size and location of the endometriotic nodule. The goal of hysterectomy for DIE is to release the uterus and the endometriotic tissue without risks of complication. CONCLUSION: "En-bloc" hysterectomy together with endometriotic nodules, where the parametrial resection is tailored according to the lesions, is an optimum method, because the blood loss, operative time, and intraoperative complications are reduced comparing with other methods.
