Total laparoscopic hysterectomy in patients with deep endometriosis: Different technical and postoperative considerations, in comparison with a procedure performed for other benign indications.
Abstract
Total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) may be indicated in patients with deep infiltrative endometriosis (DIE) to treat severe chronic pelvic pain symptoms, recurrences, or co-existing uterine disease. This study discusses the challenges and specific operative and postoperative considerations in patients submitted to TLH and excision of DIE, in comparison with those undergoing a procedure for other benign indications.
