Abstract
Background and objectives: Endometriosis affects 10% of reproductive-age women globally, with bowel endometriosis in 3.8%-37% of cases, primarily involving the rectum and sigmoid. Surgical excision is the gold-standard treatment for deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). Our objective was to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of a single-stapler laparoscopic resection and anastomosis technique for bowel DIE.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 17 cases managed from January 2023 to June 2024. Clinical presentation, surgical outcomes, and follow-up data were reviewed. Symptom improvement and complications were assessed during a minimum 3-month postoperative period.
Results: Patients primarily presented with preoperative symptoms, including progressive dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and dyschezia. All anastomoses were tension-free with negative margins; no diversion stomas were needed. Postoperative recovery was smooth, with significant symptom relief and no complications.
Conclusion: The single-stapler technique for laparoscopic rectosigmoid resection is a safe, effective approach for bowel DIE, offering excellent outcomes with significant symptom relief and minimal severe complications.
期刊介绍:
JSLS, Journal of the Society of Laparoscopic & Robotic Surgeons publishes original scientific articles on basic science and technical topics in all the fields involved with laparoscopic, robotic, and minimally invasive surgery. CRSLS, MIS Case Reports from SLS is dedicated to the publication of Case Reports in the field of minimally invasive surgery. The journals seek to advance our understandings and practice of minimally invasive, image-guided surgery by providing a forum for all relevant disciplines and by promoting the exchange of information and ideas across specialties.
