RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The objective of our study was to study the impact of discoid excision for deep endometriosis (DE) with colorectal involvement on fertility outcomes. METHODS: 49 patients with a desire for pregnancy treated with discoid excision for colorectal endometriosis in our endometriosis expert center between January 2015 and August 2020 were selected from our prospectively maintained database. Indications for surgery were either infertility and / or pelvic pain. Postoperative complications were graded according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. Fertility outcomes, both spontaneous and post-ART pregnancies, were analyzed. RESULTS: Among the 49 patients who underwent discoid excision exclusively (no other digestive resection) with a desire to conceive, 25 had a pregnancy after surgery and 24 did not. Double discoid excision was performed in 6.1 % of the cases (3/49). A colpectomy was performed in 12.2 % of the patients (6/49), and a protective stoma in 12.2 % (6/49). Fenestration of endometriomas was performed in 28.6 % of the patients (14/49), and parametrectomy in 40.8 % (20/49). The postoperative complication rate was 24.5 % (12/49) including 10.2 % (5/49) grade I, 12.2 % (6/49) grade II, and 2 % (1/49) grade III. Prior to surgery, 28 (57.1 %) patients had infertility including 13 (52 %) that successfully conceived following surgery and 15 (62.5 %) that remain infertile. Spontaneous pregnancy was achieved in 60 % (15/25) of infertile patients' prior surgery. The live-birth rate in patients conceiving spontaneously was 75 % (12/16). CONCLUSION: Our results support that discoid excision is safe and associated with good fertility outcomes. Whether first-line surgery using discoid excision is superior to first-line ART remains to be determined.

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate the impact of the sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy on adjuvant therapy, recurrence and survival in early endometrial cancer (EC). STUDY DESIGN: We retrospectively included all patients who underwent SLN biopsy for EC between February 2007 and March 2018. RESULTS: Of the 249 EC patients included, the overall SLN detection rate was 91 %. SLNs were positive in 36 (14.4 %) cases. Nine of the 13 preoperative low-risk patients with positive SLNs were re-operated and 22 % presented positive non-SLNs. No second surgery was required for the 10 patients upstaged to intermediate risk after negative SLN biopsy. Nine of the 11 preoperative intermediate-risk patients with positive SLNs were re-operated and 33 % presented positive non-SLNs. Eleven of the 24 preoperative high-risk patients with negative SLNs were re-operated and 27 % presented positive non-SLNs. For the whole population, 3-year overall survival was 99 % (CI 95 % (97-1)) and 3-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) was 92 % (CI 95 % (0.87-0.95)). CONCLUSION: Our study supports the feasibility of the SLN procedure for assessing risk recurrence in patients with early-stage EC. SLN biopsy should lead to major reductions in secondary staging and better adaptation of adjuvant therapy.

INTRODUCTION: Surgical management of deep endometriosis with colorectal involvement remains an option after failure of medical treatments. Conventional laparoscopy is currently considered the standard approach for surgical treatment. Recently, assisted-robotic laparoscopy emerged as an alternative to conventional laparoscopy but with low evidence. METHODS: From March 2019 to September 2019, we conducted a prospective cohort study of 48 patients undergoing a surgical treatment for colorectal endometriosis (rectal shaving, discoid excision or segmental resection). The interventions were either performed by robotic or conventional laparoscopy. Patients' characteristics, operative and post-operative data were compared between the robotic and the conventional laparoscopic group. RESULTS: 48 patients were included, 25 in the conventional laparoscopy group and 23 in the robotic group. Patients' characteristics and operative findings were similar between the two groups, except for a trend in a higher incidence of associated surgical urinary or digestive procedures in the robotic group (p = 0.06). The mean total surgical room occupancy time and operating time were longer in the in the robotic group (281 ± 97 min vs 208 ± 85 min; p = 0.008) and (221 ± 94 min vs 163 ± 83 min (p = 0.03), respectively. The mean intra operative blood loss, the incidence of intra operative, post-operative complication (according to Clavien-Dindo classification) rates and voiding dysfunction were similar in the two groups. The rate of grade III complication was higher in the robotic group (13 % vs 0%) without reaching a significance (p = 0.17). The mean hospital stay was 8 ± 4.4 days in the robotic group and 6.5 ± 2.6 days in the conventional laparoscopy group (p = 0.18). CONCLUSION: Despite our initial experience in robotic surgery, our results support that robotic surgery is an adequate alternative to conventional laparoscopy for endometriosis colorectal resection.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the risk of rectovaginal fistula after en bloc hysterectomy and colorectal resection (H-CR) for endometriosis using prevesical peritoneum interposition. STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective study conducted at Tenon University Hospital, expert center in endometriosis, from June 2016 to June 2018. Patients undergoing H-CR with prevesical peritoneum interposition without protective defunctioning stoma were included. RESULTS: Of the 160 patients who underwent surgery with colorectal resection for endometriosis during the study period, 27 had H-CR (15 with segmental and 12 with discoïd colorectal resection) and were included. The median age (range) was 45 years (41-47.5). Eight patients (13 %) were nulliparous. All procedures were performed by laparoscopy. Parametrial resection was performed in 14 cases (52 %). Associated bowel procedures were ileocecal resection (n = 5) and appendectomy (n = 2). Median follow-up (range) was 14.6 months (10.5-20.2). Nine (33.3 %) patients experienced intra- or postoperative complications including one grade I, four grade II, two grade IIIA and two grade IIIB complications (Clavien-Dindo classification). Seven patients (26 %) experienced postoperative voiding dysfunction. One suspicion of rectovaginal fistula associated with pelvic abscess was diagnosed 4 weeks after surgery but not confirmed during a second operation. CONCLUSION: Despite the small sample size, the present pilot study supports the practice of prevesical peritoneum interposition to limit the risk of rectovaginal fistula in patients who undergo H-CR for deep endometriosis.

Laparoscopic discoid colorectal resection is a surgical option for bowel endometriosis, 1 of the most severe forms of endometriosis. However, no study has clearly analyzed the feasibility or the complication and recurrence rates of the procedure in a homogeneous population with specific criteria for discoid resection. The aims of this study were to evaluate the rate of conversion to segmental resection, the need for double discoid resection, and the complication and recurrence rates. We conducted a prospective study of 93 consecutive patients who underwent discoid resection in Tenon University Hospital, Paris, France. The median follow-up was 20 months. We included patients with colorectal endometriosis (≤3 cm long and <90° of bowel circumference) experiencing failure of medical treatment or associated infertility. All the patients underwent a discoid colorectal resection using a transanal circular stapler. The primary end point was the rate of conversion to segmental resection (3.2%). The secondary end point was the rate of double discoid resection (6.5%). The overall complication rate was 24%, and the severe complication rate (i.e., Clavien-Dindo IIIB) was 3% (nâ¯=â¯4). Postoperative voiding dysfunction requiring bladder self-catheterization was observed in 16% (nâ¯=â¯15). The mean duration of bladder self-catherization was 30 days (range, 15-90) including 11 cases (74%) lasting less than 30 days and 4 cases lasting more than 30 days. No patients required bladder self-catheterization over 3 months. No difference in the complication rate or in voiding dysfunction was observed between double and single discoid resection. The low rate of conversion to radical resection confirms the satisfactory preoperative evaluation of bowel endometriosis. Few publications report the rate of conversion to radical surgery. This raises the crucial issue of the right indications for discoid resection. The present study confirms that discoid resection is probably the best option for small lesions because of its high feasibility and low complication rate. Further studies are required to evaluate the technique for larger colorectal endometriotic lesions.

In 2018, around 382,100 new cases of endometrial cancer (EC) were reported worldwide, accounting for about 4.4% of all new cases of cancer in women. In France, in 2018, the EC is the first gynecological cancer in incidence and the fourth cancer in women. The rationale for the therapeutic management of EC is based on the estimation of a theoretical risk of recurrence and lymph node metastasis using MRI and preoperative biopsy criteria. However, lymph node status remains the determining factor of adjuvant treatment. In order to reduce the morbidity of lymphadenectomy, the concept of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLN) has been developed. The SLN technique has evolved in recent years, thanks to the advent of robotics and the creation of fluorescence detection cameras. It has been shown that detection of SLN with Indocyanine Green (ICG) allows for more frequent bilateral migration of 88 to 100% and better detection of pelvic GS in 97% of cases with a decrease in morbidity. Recently, in view of the absence of a therapeutic role of lymph node staging, the operational risks and the delay of adjuvant treatments, in case of pelvic lymph node metastasis on definitive histological examination, the question of secondarily performing paraaortic lymphadenectomy arises. The SLN procedure, extended to all early-stage endometrial cancers, should lead to a major reduction in the use of secondary staging and better adaptation of adjuvant therapy.

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis affects 10% of women in reproductive age and alters fertility. Its management is still debated notably the timing of surgery and ART in infertility. Several tools have been created to guide the practitioner and the couple yet many limitations persist. The objective is to create a nomogram to predict the likelihood of a live birth after surgery followed by assisted reproductive technology (ART) for patients with endometriosis-related infertility. STUDY DESIGN: All women in a public university hospital who attempted to conceive by ART after surgery for endometriosis-related infertility from 2004 to 2016 were included. We created a model using multivariable linear regression based on a retrospective database. RESULT: Of the 297 women included, 171 (57.6%) obtained a live birth. Age, duration of infertility, number of ICSI-IVF cycles, ovarian reserve and the revised American Fertility Society (rAFS) score were included in the nomogram. The predictive model had an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.77 (95% CI, 0.75-0.79) and was well calibrated. The external validation of the model was achieved with an AUC of 0.71 (95% CI, 0.69-0.73) and calibration was good. The staging accuracy according to AUC criteria for the nomogram compared to the currently used Endometriosis Infertility Index to predict live births were 0.77 (95% CI, 0.75-0.79) and 0.60 (95% CI: 0.57-0.63), respectively. CONCLUSION: This simple tool appears to accurately predict the likelihood of a live birth for a patient undergoing ART after surgery for endometriosis-related infertility. It could be used to counsel patients in their choice between spontaneous versus ART conception, or oocyte donation.

STUDY OBJECTIVE: Our primary endpoint was to compare the intra- and postoperative complications, whereas secondary endpoints were the occurrence of voiding dysfunction and evaluation of the quality or life of segmental and discoid resection in patients with colorectal endometriosis. DESIGN: Retrospective study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2). SETTING: Tenon University Hospital in Paris. PATIENTS: Thirty-one 31 patients who underwent a conservative surgery and 31 patients who underwent. INTERVENTIONS: The 2 groups were compared using propensity score matching (PSM) analysis, with a median follow-up of 247 days (8.2 months). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Discoid colorectal resection was associated with a shorter operating time (155 vs 180 minutes, p = .03) and hospital stay (7 vs 8 days, p = .002) than segmental colorectal resection; however, a similar intra- and postoperative complication rate was found. A higher rate of postoperative voiding dysfunction was observed in the segmental resection group (19% vs 45%, p = .03) as well as duration of voiding dysfunction requiring bladder self-catheterization longer than 30 days (0 vs 22%, p = .005). CONCLUSION: Our PSM analysis suggests the advantages of discoid resection because it results in a similar surgical complication rate to segmental resection but with advantages in operating time, hospital stay, and voiding dysfunction.
