This retrospective study investigated the feasibility, safety, and perioperative outcomes of laparoendoscopic single-site surgery for deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), analyzing 6 consecutive patients who underwent lesion excision at Xi Jing Hospital between May 2017 and August 2018. The authors collected perioperative variables including operative time, blood loss, lesion diameter, complications, hemoglobin changes, time to bowel movement, pain scores (VAS), length of hospital stay, and follow-up. All surgeries were completed successfully without conversion to conventional laparoscopy or laparotomy and no intraoperative or postoperative complications were reported, with operative time around 106.5 minutes and hospital stay about 3.5 days. The main limitation explicitly stated is the small sample size, requiring larger studies to confirm reliability. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on single-site laparoscopic excision outcomes for deeply infiltrating endometriosis.
