Functional sequelae after deep endometriosis surgery, caused by nerve damage, manifest as bladder dysfunction, constipation, and vaginal dryness, affecting up to 30% of patients and often resolving with conservative management.

This paper examines functional sequelae after surgery for deep pelvic endometriosis, focusing on pelvic autonomic nervous system lesions caused either by infiltration of endometriotic disease into nerves or by surgical trauma. It reports that these dysfunctions can involve bladder disturbances (dysuria), terminal constipation, and vaginal dryness/decreased sensitivity, with bladder dysfunction incidence often underestimated but reaching nearly 30% postoperatively. The authors emphasize that targeted postoperative assessment using validated questionnaires is important, and that additional urodynamic or rectal investigations are usually unnecessary; they also note the main caveat that functional assessment and incidence may be affected by under-recognition. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically addresses postoperative functional disorders after surgery for deep endometriosis and their presumed autonomic nerve mechanisms.

Résumé Les troubles fonctionnels secondaires à la chirurgie de l’endométriose profonde (EP) sont essentiellement secondaires à des lésions du système nerveux végétatif pelvien (sympathique et parasympathique). Ces lésions sont soit secondaires à l’infiltration des fibres nerveuses par l’endométriose, soit secondaires à des traumatismes chirurgicaux. Elles sont responsables de troubles fonctionnels au niveau de la vessie, du rectosigmoïde et du vagin et se traduisent par des dysuries, une constipation terminale et une sécheresse vaginale. Leur fréquence est le plus souvent sousestimée, mais jusqu’à 30 % des patientes peuvent avoir des dysuries en postopératoire. Il faut savoir les rechercher par un interrogatoire dirigé ou à l’aide de questionnaires spécifiques. Le recours à des examens complémentaires est rarement nécessaire. Il convient essentiellement de prévenir les complications urinaires: infections ou détérioration du plancher pelvien par des efforts de poussée chronique. Leur évolution est le plus souvent favorable en quelques jours à quelques semaines. Pour les troubles vésicaux, nous recommandons les autosondages en première intention. Abstract Functional sequelae after surgery of deep pelvic endometriosis are both caused by surgical traumatism and/or infiltrating by the endometriotic lesions of the pelvic autonomic nerves. The consequences are bladder dysfunction, distal constipation, vaginal dryness and the decreased of vaginal sensitivity. The incidence of bladder dysfunctions are often underestimated, but nearly 30% of the patients described dysuria after surgical resection of deep infiltrating endometriosis. Postoperative assessments of these vegetative dysfunctions are important using validated questionnaire. Urodynamic or rectal investigations are usually not recommended. The main objective of the treatment is to avoid the complications of post-voiding residue like infection or deterioration of the peritoneal tissues by abdominal pushing. Self-catheterization should be recommended when these postoperative complication occur.
