To demonstrate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic robotic assisted approach to urinary tract endometriosis.
This is an educational video to explain the main steps of robotic assisted ureteroneocystostomy due to endometriosis.
Tertiary care university hospital. Patient written consent was obtained on 9 March 2021. The local IRB confirmed that the video met the ethical criteria.
Laparoscopic Robotic assisted resection of uterosacral ligament endometriotic nodule, left terminal partial ureterectomy, partial cystectomy and ureteroneocystostomy.
This video shows a stepwise approach to laparoscopic robotic assisted urinary tract endometriosis management demonstrating its feasibility and safety. Urinary-tract endometriosis affect only the 0,3% to 6% of women affected by endometriosis, amongst which the most common localization is the bladder (84-90%) [1]. The ureteral compression is rare but can lead to obstruction up to silent loss of renal function [2], which is one of the main factors to take into account in the management of this disease [3].
