ABSTRACT
STUDY OBJECTIVE:
The main objective is to describe the feasibility and report a single-center experience of a standardized laparoscopic modified radical hysterectomy technique among patients with severe endometriosis and pouch of Douglas obliteration.DESIGN:
A single-center case series of laparoscopic modified radical hysterectomy performed at the Poissy Hospital between December 2012 and May 2021. SETTINGS Single-center, gynecology unit (level III) with a focus on endometriosis. PATIENTS Patients with severe endometriosis (stage 4 American Fertility Society) and pouch of Douglas obliteration. MEASUREMENTS AND MAINRESULTS:
Fifty-two patients with severe endometriosis underwent the surgical procedure. Of these patients, 23.1% underwent a rectal shaving (n = 12), 1.9% a discoid resection (n = 1), and 17.3% a rectal resection (n = 9), including a protective ileostomy in 1 case. Ureterolysis was performed on 82.7% of patients (n = 43). The average hospital stay was 3.3 days. Seven patients required intermittent self-catheterization (13.5%). Minor complications (Clavien-Dindo grade 1 and 2) occurred in 25.9% of the patients and severe complications in 3.8% of them (Clavien-Dindo grade 3, no grade 4). Two patients (3.8%) were reoperated one for a postoperative occipital alopecia (balding) and the other for vaginal dehiscence with evisceration. Approximately 50 patients (96.2%) had a complete resection of endometriosis. The median follow-up was 14 months (interquartile range, 6-23 mo) with 94.3% of them improved (much and very much) and 3.8% minimally improved.CONCLUSION:
In our experience, laparoscopic modified radical hysterectomy is a reliable procedure with a low rate of severe complications. This technique needs to be assessed by other surgeons and others centers across the country and abroad, to determine the likelihood of it succeeding.Palavras-chave
