Abstract
Background: Excision of multi-compartment deep infiltrating endometriosis with visceral involvement is challenging. We illustrate an interdisciplinary approach to complete minimally invasive excision in a single surgery. Case: We present a case of deep infiltrating endometriosis with visceral involvement in the anterior, middle, and posterior compartments. A collaborative surgical approach was taken with gynecologic, colorectal, and urologic surgeons to perform a robot-assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, ovarian cystectomy, and unilateral oophorectomy with concurrent segmental resection of rectosigmoid and excision of transmural bladder and vaginal nodules. Conclusion: Thorough preoperative evaluation and an interdisciplinary approach to surgical planning involving radiology, gynecology, colorectal surgery, and urology allowed for complete simultaneous resection of bladder, rectosigmoid, and pelvic deep infiltrating endometriosis without complications via a minimally invasive route.
