Abstract
Deep infiltrative endometriosis is a condition affecting up to 15 % of women of childbearing age, defined by extra uterine location of endometrial like tissues.
The symptoms of endometriosis range from severe dysmenorrhea to infertility, chronic pelvic pain, bowel dysfunction and urinary tract involvement to name the most common. Endometriosis has an impact on the quality of life of patients, with personal and social consequences.
Although medical treatment is indicated in the first instance, surgery may be necessary. Standard laparoscopy has become the gold standard for this surgery. However, surgery for deep infiltrative endometriosis is known to be highly complex, and the significant development of robotic assistance in recent years has had an impact on the evolution of surgical practice. This comprehensive review of the literature provides an overview of the contributions of robotic surgery in the field of endometriosis and gives an insight into the next steps in its development.
期刊介绍:
In practical paperback format, each 200 page topic-based issue of Best Practice & Research Clinical Obstetrics & Gynaecology will provide a comprehensive review of current clinical practice and thinking within the specialties of obstetrics and gynaecology.
All chapters take the form of practical, evidence-based reviews that seek to address key clinical issues of diagnosis, treatment and patient management.
Each issue follows a problem-orientated approach that focuses on the key questions to be addressed, clearly defining what is known and not known. Management will be described in practical terms so that it can be applied to the individual patient.
