Abstract

Introduction: We present a case of an extensive endometriosis involving left paracolpium and left parametrium, rectovaginal septum, urinary bladder, left interiliac region between artery and vein, left ureter and rectum, presenting as dysmenorrhoea, alternating bouts of diarrhea and constipation and hydronephrosis. Methods: Laparoscopic surgery made by a multidisciplinary team consist of gynecologic, abdominal surgeon and urologist. Results: Successfully managed deep infiltrated endometriosis. Conclusion: The aim of this report is to demonstrate benefit of one-stage, minimally invasive radical surgical procedure performed in a tertiary referral center. To the best of our knowledge, this report presents an extremely complex case because we successfully managed deep infiltrating endometriosis in three different organ systems at the same time, using minimally invasive nerve-sparing technique. A case with the same constellation has not been published yet since reported cases of extrapelvic endometriosis chiefly address one organ system involvement.
