This international multicenter retrospective study evaluated perioperative outcomes of robot-assisted laparoscopy (da Vinci system) in 164 women with stage 4 deep infiltrating endometriosis, assessing procedure details, operative duration, complications, recurrence, and fertility-related impacts, based on surgeries performed from 2008 to 2012 across eight centers. The average operative time was 180 minutes, with reported complications including rare laparotomy, bowel and urinary tract injuries/leaks/fistulae, and an overall reoperation rate of 1.8%; 86.7% had full recovery, and among patients desiring pregnancy, 28.2% became pregnant during a mean follow-up of 10.2 months. The paper reports that no increase in operative time, blood loss, or intra-/postoperative complications was observed, with the key limitation being its retrospective design and relatively short follow-up. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically analyzes robot-assisted laparoscopy outcomes for deep infiltrating endometriosis.
