The anterior colpotomy first technique has been developed as an alternative approach to simplify dissection and improve surgical safety in such advanced cases.</p><p><strong>Objectives: </strong>Stepwise video demonstration of laparoscopic hysterectomy for deep infiltrating endometriosis involving rectovaginal space by the anterior colpotomy first technique.</p><p><strong>Participant: </strong>A 47-year-old woman presented with dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia and dyschezia unresponsive to medical treatment. Transvaginal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed bilateral 5 cm endometriomas, 2 cm endometriotic nodules on both utero-sacral ligaments, and a 4 cm nodule in the Douglas pouch. A further 3 cm superficial endometriotic nodule on the rectosigmoid colon was also revealed on MRI. According to the Enzian classification, the score was A3, B2/2, C3. Laparoscopic hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and endometriotic excision of lesions were planned. Operation time was 210 minutes, and blood loss was 50 mL.
