: Postsurgical lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) is a common problem following deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) resection. The condition may be caused either by surgically induced damage to the bladder innervation or by pre-existing endometriosis-associated nerve damage. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative and postoperative multichannel urodynamic testing (UD) in identifying pre-existing or surgically induced LUTD among patients with DIE.

Refining MRI Protocols for Endometriosis: A Comparative Study of Abbreviated and Full MRI Sequences.

Br J Radiol

November 2024

Department of Radiology, School of Medicine, Advanced Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology Research Center (ADIR), Imam Khomeini Hospital complex (IKHC), Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.

Objectives: Endometriosis is a significant cause of chronic abdominal pain and infertility in females, often overlooked due to its resemblance to other abdominopelvic pathologies. This study aims to compare the diagnostic performance and agreement rate between an abbreviated MRI protocol (aMRI) and a full MRI protocol (fMRI) for detecting pelvic endometriosis.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 446 consecutive MRI exams, including both full (fMRI) and abbreviated (aMRI) protocols, performed for suspected pelvic endometriosis.

Robot-Assisted Nerve-Sparing Eradication of Deep Endometriosis Using the da Vinci SP.

J Minim Invasive Gynecol

October 2024

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Kurashiki Medical Center, Okayama, Japan (all authors).

Article Synopsis
  • - The text discusses the advantages of nerve-sparing surgery for deep endometriosis, emphasizing how it can minimize pelvic organ dysfunction post-surgery through improved anatomical knowledge and surgical techniques.
  • - It highlights the use of the da Vinci SP robotic system, which has advanced tools that enhance precision in complex surgeries compared to traditional single-port laparoscopic methods, though its full potential is still being explored.
  • - A case study is presented involving a 47-year-old woman with chronic pelvic pain, illustrating that the technique used in the surgery mimics conventional robotic procedures, benefiting from the SP system's superior visualization and instrument maneuverability.
