Ein kombinierter Operationsansatz zur Therapie der rektovaginalen Endometriose auf der Basis histologischer Befunde
This study presents a combined surgical approach for rectovaginal endometriosis that allows intraoperative differentiation between superficial and infiltrative disease, guiding the decision for intestinal resection based on findings rather than imaging.

This prospective study evaluated a new combined vaginal–laparoscopic–abdominal surgical technique for rectovaginal endometriosis in 70 patients, with preoperative imaging (vaginal ultrasound, pelvic MRI, rectal endosonography, and rectosigmoidoscopy) performed but not used to decide on bowel resection. Intraoperative dissection of the rectovaginal septum determined whether disease was superficial (treated without intestinal resection) or infiltrative (leading to rectosigmoid resection with intestinal reanastomosis while preserving the mesorectum/mesosigmoid). Histology confirmed endometriosis in all patients and, among the 44 who underwent resection, bowel infiltration was present in all cases; the paper reports no anastomotic insufficiency or postoperative complications such as residual urine issues, with only rare events including enteric Clostridium infection and conservative treatment of subileus. Limitations explicitly noted include reliance on intraoperative assessment rather than imaging for decision-making, and the single-center procedural series design without a comparative control group. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses specifically on surgical management of rectovaginal endometriosis using histopathology to guide resection and preserve pelvic autonomic structures.
