Abstract
AbstractLaparoscopic rectosigmoid resection for endometriosis is usually performed with the section of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) distal to the left colic artery (low-tie ligation). This study was to determine outcomes in IMA-sparing surgery in endometriosis cases. A single-center retrospective study based on the analysis of clinical notes of women who underwent laparoscopic rectosigmoid segmental resection and IMA-sparing surgery for deep infiltrating endometriosis with bowel involvement between March the 1st, 2018 and February the 29th, 2020 in a referral hospital. During the study period, 1497 patients had major gynecological surgery in our referral center, of whom 253 (17%) for endometriosis. Of the 100 patients (39%) who had bowel endometriosis, 56 underwent laparoscopic nerve-sparing rectosigmoid segmental resection and IMA-sparing surgery was performed in 53 cases (95%). Short-term complications occurred in 4 cases (7%) without any case of anastomotic leak. Preservation of the IMA in colorectal surgery for endometriosis is feasible, safe and enables a tension-free anastomosis without an increase of postoperative complication rates.
