Laparoscopic Excision of Vaginal Cuff Endometriosis

Study Objective

To demonstrate techniques for safe resection of the vaginal cuff in a patient with recurrent endometriosis after hysterectomy.

Design

Video demonstration of surgical excision of vaginal cuff endometriosis

Setting

Operating room at a tertiary care academic teaching hospital

Patients or Participants

Single case study of a patient with recurrent endometriosis involving the vaginal cuff after prior hysterectomy.

Interventions

N/A

Measurements and Primary Results

This video highlights critical anatomical considerations and key technical principles for the successful excision of endometriotic implants at the vaginal cuff. Emphasis is placed on identifying vital structures, minimizing risk to surrounding tissues, and ensuring complete disease resection.

Conclusion

Laparoscopic resection of vaginal cuff endometriosis following hysterectomy is feasible and can be safely performed with attention to pelvic anatomy and surgical technique. This video serves as an educational tool for surgeons managing complex cases of recurrent endometriosis.
