Postischemic Compartment Syndrome Resulting from the Trocar-induced Iliac Artery Injury during Gynecological Laparoscopy

The paper reports a rare case of postischemic compartment syndrome caused by trocar-induced injury to the iliac artery during gynecological laparoscopy in an obese young woman with an ovarian teratoma. After the injury, the patient developed compartment syndrome despite emergent revascularization, and the authors emphasize that such life-threatening vascular complications may be misdiagnosed or mistreated. The main limitation is that the evidence is limited to a single case report, without broader population or systematic analysis. Relevance to endometriosis: it is a gynecological laparoscopy case involving vascular trocar injury and postoperative compartment syndrome, but it does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.
