Surgery is preferred when medical therapy fails or is contraindicated. Although segmental resection has shown good outcomes, it carries significant risks of perioperative complications<sup>1-3</sup>, partially due to the mini-laparotomy required for specimen retrieval and bowel anastomosis (post-operative pain, wound-related issues, blood loss, hernias). Total intracorporeal laparoscopic anastomosis may reduce them<sup>4,5</sup>. While promising, experience with this technique is limited, and there is no consensus on its use. This video showcases our technique for total intracorporeal end-to-end anastomosis using a purse-string suture after bowel resection for endometriosis.</p><p><strong>Design: </strong>Case report and video-description of the surgical technique SETTING: Tertiary level academic hospital INTERVENTION: A 32-year-old woman with severe, symptomatic endometriosis unresponsive to hormone therapy was referred to our hospital. Preoperative evaluation identified a 5cm nodule involving the anterior rectal wall, recto-sigmoid junction, and right utero-sacral ligament, located 10cm from the anal verge. After obtaining informed consent, surgery was scheduled. The recto-sigmoid colon was mobilized using a nerve-sparing approach<sup>1-3,5</sup>, followed by resection of the affected segment. The specimen was exteriorized from the right ancillary trocar site, and a total intracorporeal end-to-end colorectal anastomosis was performed without the need for a suprapubic mini-laparotomy, using a circular stapler and a monofilament purse-string suture to secure the anvil. Bowel integrity and residual vascular assessment with near-infrared indocyanine green were performed, and the patient experienced an uneventful recovery, with significant clinical improvement at follow-up.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>In our experience total intracorporeal anastomosis technique improves minimally invasive surgery for deep endometriosis, avoiding the drawbacks of mini-laparotomy and requires less sigmoid mobilization. The most threatening complication after full-thickness bowel resection is anastomotic leakage, often due to poorly supplied residual horns. Our technique using a purse-string suture during intracorporeal anastomosis, preventing formation of residual horns, can provide greater anvil stability for a secure anastomosis seal.</p>","PeriodicalId":16397,"journal":{"name":"Journal of minimally invasive gynecology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143772540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following vaginal iodine cleansing and antibiotic prophylaxis, endometrioma is punctured once with a single lumen 15-16-gauge needle and aspirated.
