Article Synopsis
- Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSCP) is evaluated as an outpatient procedure for treating pelvic prolapse, emphasizing its growing importance in ambulatory care.
- A study at the University Hospital of Strasbourg included women needing LSCP, finding that 28.5% of participants were hospitalized post-surgery, which is considered low.
- Patients reported high satisfaction levels and no significant decline in quality of life, indicating that LSCP can be safely performed in an outpatient setting with minimal complications.
Objective: We decided to conduct a study based on these multidisciplinary team (MDT) in order to investigate their impact at the University Hospitals of Strasbourg and look for ways to improve this MDT.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of the 682 patients presented to endometriosis MDT from its inception in March 2017 to December 2020.
Results: The MDT decision was different from that initially proposed by the patient's referent for 406 patients (60%).

Objective: Adenomyosis is a uterine pathology affecting an increasing number of women of childbearing age. Its diagnosis is based upon histology or imaging [ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)]. Several studies have investigated the impact of adenomyosis on obstetric complications, with its diagnosis based on clinical symptoms, ultrasound or composite criteria.

Surgical treatment is aimed at improving overall survival and recurrence-free survival of patients, as well as restoring normal anatomy and functional integrity depending on the pathology. These operations are accompanied by significant post-operative complications.

- - The study aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of cryoablation, a minimally invasive treatment, for patients with endometriosis located in the anterior abdominal wall, involving 29 patients over 6 months.
- - Cryoablation was performed under imaging guidance, with nearly half of the procedures done under local anesthesia, resulting in minor complications and significant pain reduction from baseline to 6 months.
- - At the 6-month follow-up, approximately 72% of patients experienced complete symptom relief, although some reported ongoing symptoms or had MRI-confirmed residual disease.
