Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To describe the peri-operative considerations and surgical steps for a laparoscopic segmental resection for colorectal endometriosis, using a nerve-sparing, mesentery-sparing, and natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) technique. DESIGN: Narrated surgical video within a tertiary care hospital. Institutional review board approval was not necessary for this article in accordance with the Tri-Council Policy Statement of Canada, article 2.5. SUBJECTS: Recorded case of a 5-cm deep rectal nodule requiring resection. EXPOSURE: Laparoscopic segmental resection. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Overview of bowel endometriosis, surgical approaches, peri-operative care, and surgical steps. RESULTS: The surgical approach is illustrated in 8 steps: mobilization of the adnexa and cul-de-sac, bilateral ureterolysis, dissection of the pararectal and rectovaginal spaces, mesenteric dissection ± sigmoid mobilization, enterotomies and anvil placement, segmental resection and natural orifice specimen extraction, reanastomosis, and rigid sigmoidoscopy. Peri-operative care should align with the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery pathway for colorectal surgery. CONCLUSION: In cases of multiorgan endometriosis, gynecologic surgeons must remain at the forefront of clinical decision making and surgical care coordination. The standardization of the surgical approach allows for a safe and reproducible performance of the intervention.
