Interposition of a biological mesh may not affect the rate of rectovaginal fistula after excision of large rectovaginal endometriotic nodules: a pilot study of 209 patients.

Aim: The aim of this work was to assess whether placement of a biological mesh (Permacol ) between the vaginal and rectal sutures reduces the rate of rectovaginal fistula in patients with deep rectovaginal endometriosis.

Method: We report a retrospective, comparative study enrolling patients with vaginal infiltration of more than 3 cm in diameter and rectal involvement in two centres. They benefited from complete excision of rectovaginal endometriotic nodules with or without a biological mesh placed between the vaginal and rectal sutures.

Management of mucocele of the appendix with peritoneal dissemination in pregnant women: a case report and literature review.

Background: This is the first case report of a patient with a twin pregnancy who developed appendiceal mucocele (AM) with peritoneal dissemination in the context of endometriosis and ovarian hyperstimulation. A review of the literature on AM during pregnancy, with a focus on management, is provided as well.

Case Presentation: A 36-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department for abdominal pain in the right iliac fossa at 17 weeks of amenorrhoea (WA).

Evaluation of functional outcomes after disc excision of deep endometriosis involving low and mid rectum using standardized questionnaires: a series of 80 patients.

Aim: The aim was to assess the functional outcome and quality of life in patients with low and mid rectal endometriosis who have undergone disc excision using a semicircular transanal staple device, a procedure we have named the Rouen technique.

Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients undergoing the Rouen technique between October 2009 and November 2018. Preoperative and postoperative demographic and operative data were recorded prospectively (mean ± SEM).

Training for next generation surgeons: a pilot study of robot-assisted hysterectomy managed by resident using dual console.

Purpose: To assess feasibility of a standardized robot-assisted hysterectomy managed by resident and supervised by senior surgeon using dual-console on a 21-step grid (max score = 42) assessing resident autonomy.

Methods: A total of seven patients managed between September 2019 and March 2020 by six residents in gynecology and obstetrics were included. Standardized robot-assisted hysterectomy for endometrial cancer or adenomyosis was performed.

Risk of Postoperative Stenosis after Segmental Resection versus Disk Excision for Deep Endometriosis Infiltrating the Rectosigmoid: A Retrospective Study.

Study Objective: To assess the prevalence, risk factors, and management of bowel stenosis after surgery for deep infiltrating endometriosis of the rectosigmoid using either disk excision (DE) or segmental resection (SR).

Design: Retrospective study using data from consecutive cases recorded in the North-West Inter Regional Female Cohort for Patients with Endometriosis database.

Setting: University tertiary referral center.

Pregnancy outcomes in women with history of surgery for endometriosis.

Objective: To assess the relationship between history of surgery for endometriosis and adverse obstetrical outcomes.

Design: Retrospective study using prospectively recorded data.

Setting: Referral center.
