Abbott J, Billow M, Gallant T, Hackett L, Kho RM, Knapman B, Russo MAL, Maheux-Lacroix S, Gonzalez AM, Ng C, Orlando MS, Sit A, Xu X. Patient-Reported Outcome Measures Used in Randomized Controlled Trials Following Surgical Intervention for Endometriosis: A Structured Review from the AAGL Practice Guidelines Group. J Minim Invasive Gynecol 2024; 31:71-83.e17. [PMID: 37931893 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmig.2023.10.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2023] [Revised: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 11/08/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE No consensus currently exists regarding patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) instruments. This structured review was conducted to identify the PROMs used by randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated surgical treatment in patients with endometriosis. DATA SOURCES Two parallel searches were conducted by a medical librarian using Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, and Cochrane Library for RCTs published from 2000 to July 2022. One search focused on studies reporting quality of life (QoL), and the second search focused on studies reporting pain and sexual, bowel, and bladder function. METHOD OF STUDY SELECTION During the title and abstract screening and reference check, 600 results were identified on PROMs relating to QoL and 465 studies on PROMs relating to pain and sexual, bowel, and/or bladder function and an evaluation of 17 and 12 studies conducted, respectively. The inclusion criteria involved selecting RCTs that focused on surgical intervention and assessing QoL, pain, and sexual, bowel, and/or bladder function using PROMs. TABULATION, INTEGRATION, AND RESULTS Covidence software was used to organize and identify duplicate articles through screening. We developed a data extraction form to collect key information about each included study, as well as the pertinent PROMs used in the study. Assessment of the risk of bias of each study was also performed. A total of 19 studies were identified involving 2089 participants and a total of 16 PROMs used across the studies; 9 of 19 studies (47%) were rated as having a low risk of bias. There were no high-risk studies identified in this review. CONCLUSION This study identified a large number of RCTs in surgical treatment of endometriosis that used various PROMs to assess QoL, pain, and bladder, bowel, and sexual function. The PROMs used by high-quality RCTs for QoL include Endometriosis Health Profile-30, Endometriosis Health Profile-5, Short-Form 36, Short-Form 12, and EQ-5D; for bowel-related symptoms Knowles-Eccersley-Scott-Symptom Questionnaire, Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index, and Cleveland Clinic Fecal Incontinence Severity Scoring System/Wexner; for bladder-related function Bristol Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms, International Prostate Symptom Score, Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Function Questionnaire, and Urinary Symptom Profile; and finally for sexual function Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Function Questionnaire and Sexual Activity Questionnaire. Unlike other domains, only one tool (visual analog scale) was the dominant PROM used for the assessment of pain. In addition, the use of more than one PROM in each study to assess different aspects of patient's health and pain symptoms did not become prevalent until after 2015.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the impact of surgical treatment of deep infiltrative endometriosis (DIE) on pelvic floor dysfunction (urinary incontinence [UI], pelvic organ prolapse [POP], fecal incontinence [FI)] or constipation, and sexual function [dyspareunia]). DATA SOURCE The present systematic review was performed in the PubMed database. For the selection of studies, articles should be published by January 5, 2021, without language restriction. STUDY SELECTION Six randomized controlled studies that evaluated surgical treatment for DIE and the comparison of different surgical techniques were included. DATA COLLECTION The studies were selected independently by title and abstract by two authors. Disagreements were resolved by a third author. All included studies were also evaluated according to the Cochrane risk of bias tool and the quality of the evidence was analyzed using the GRADE criteria. Subgroup analysis by different treatments and follow-up periods was also performed. RESULTS Six studies were included in the quantitative analysis. The risk of bias between studies showed an uncertain risk of bias for most studies, with concealment of allocation being the least reported category. The quality of the evidence was considered low. High heterogeneity was found between the studies. No study has evaluated UI or POP comparatively before and after surgery. CONCLUSION Dyspareunia and FI have improved after the surgical procedure, but it was not possible to demonstrate which surgical technique was related to these outcomes as there was surgical heterogeneity. This diversity was found across data, with the recommendation of future prospective studies addressing pelvic floor disorders with DIE.

Long term outcomes following surgical management of rectal endometriosis: 7-year follow-up of patients enrolled in a randomized trial. J Minim Invasive Gynecol 2022; 29:767-775. [PMID: 35181523 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmig.2022.02.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2022] [Revised: 02/11/2022] [Accepted: 02/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To compare functional outcomes, recurrence rate and pregnancy likelihood in patients undergoing conservative or radical surgery in patients with deep rectal endometriosis 7 years post-operatively. DESIGN Prospective study in a cohort of patients enrolled in a 2-arm randomized trial from March 2011 to August 2013. SETTING A tertiary referral center. PATIENTS 55 patients with deep endometriosis infiltrating the rectum. INTERVENTIONS Patients underwent either segmental resection or nodule excision by shaving or disc excision, depending on a randomization which was performed preoperatively using sequentially numbered, opaque sealed envelopes. MEASUREMENT AND MAIN RESULTS The primary endpoint was the number of patients experiencing one of the following symptoms: constipation, frequent bowel movements, anal incontinence or bladder dysfunction 24 months postoperatively. Secondary endpoints were values of gastrointestinal and overall quality of life scores. The 7 year-recurrence rates (new deep endometriosis nodule infiltrating the rectum) in the excision vs. the segmental resection arms were 7.4 % vs. 0% (P=.24). One of more symptoms included in the definition of the primary outcomes were recorded in 55.6% vs. 60.7% of patients (P=0.79). However, 51.9% vs. 53.6% of patients considered their bowel movements as normal (P=.99). An intention-to-treat comparison of overall quality of life scores did not find differences between the two groups 7 years postoperatively. At the end of the 7-year study period, 31 of the 37 patients who tried to conceive were successful (83.8%) including: 27 (57.4%) natural conceptions and 20 (42.6%) pregnancies resulting from ART procedures. Pregnancy rate was 82.4% vs. 85% in the two arms (P=.99). A 75.7% live birth rate was recorded. At the end of the follow up there were 15 women with one child (40.5%) and 13 women with 2 children (35.1%). During the 7-year follow- up, the reoperation rate was respectively 37% and 35.7% in each arm, P=0.84). Among the 27 reoperation procedures during the follow up period, 11 were postoperative complications (40.7%), 7 were necessary prior to ART management (25.9%), 8 were for recurrent abdominal or pelvic pain (29.6%) and one for midline ventral hernia following pregnancy (3.7%). CONCLUSIONS Our study did not reveal a significant difference in terms of digestive functional outcomes, recurrence rate, reoperation risk and pregnancy likelihood when conservative and radical rectal surgery for deep endometriosis were compared 7 years postoperatively. Postoperative pregnancy rate observed in our series is high.

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in Endometriosis. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10215106.

Abstract
Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROM) evoke measurements that allow capturing patients’ perspectives on their condition. In endometriosis care, physicians’ understanding of the effect of the disease and the treatment on patients is often poor. The use of PROMs in endometriosis clinical practice can facilitate patient-provider communication and the implementation of patient-centered care, improve patients’ quality of life, as well as provide a tool for patients’ self-management of the disease. Today, PROMs are extensively used in research and clinical trials, however they are barely used in clinical practice. The development of digital tools facilitating capturing PROMs can contribute to their use by physicians in routine endometriosis care. However, all PROMs are not adapted to be used in routine care in the context of endometriosis. The objective of this study was to present a catalogue of available PROMs for routine endometriosis care and evaluate them according to selected criteria. To do so, we explored the different PROMs currently in the literature. Consequently, 48 PROM were identified as tools used to evaluate various dimensions of the impact of endometriosis on patients. The selected PROMs were evaluated for their potential to be used as a standard in clinical practice in endometriosis. The selected catalogue of PROMs is the starting point for the integration of digital tools to capture PROMs and the development of patient-centered dashboards to be used by patients and clinicians in endometriosis care and self-management to improve care processes, patient satisfaction, quality of life, and outcomes.

Evaluation of functional outcomes after disc excision of deep endometriosis involving low and mid rectum using standardized questionnaires: a series of 80 patients. Colorectal Dis 2021; 23:944-954. [PMID: 33320419 DOI: 10.1111/codi.15485] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2020] [Revised: 10/14/2020] [Accepted: 11/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
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). Postoperative complications were recorded using the Clavien-Dindo classification. Rectal function and quality of life were assessed by the low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) and Bowel Endometriosis Syndrome (BENS) scores respectively at ≥6 months. RESULTS The Rouen procedure was performed on 80 patients (29.7 ± 4.3). The mean diameter of resected specimens was 57 ± 10 mm, and the height of the rectal suture from the anal verge was 4.6 ± 1.2 cm. The Clavien-Dindo complications were Clavien-Dindo 1 (leg compression), Clavien-Dindo 2 (urinary tract infection, bladder self-catheterization) and Clavien-Dindo 3b (bowel obstruction, rectovaginal fistula, pyelic dilation, colorectal stenosis after resection). A rectovaginal fistula (Clavien-Dindo 3b) developed in nine (11.3%) patients and their stoma could be reversed after 99-162 days. The majority of patients (n = 50, 62.5%) had normal postoperative rectal function with LARS score ≤20. However, minor (LARS ≥ 21-29) and major rectal dysfunction (LARS ≥ 30) was seen in 18 (22.5%) and 12 (15%) patients respectively. Quality of life as measured using the BENS score was normal (BENS score 0-8) in 51 (63.8%) patients, slightly reduced (BENS score 9-16) in 24 (30%) patients and in only five (6.3%) was this a major issue (BENS score > 17). The development of a rectovaginal fistula was independently related to risk of major rectal dysfunction (adjusted OR 6.3, 95% CI 1.3-30.6). CONCLUSIONS In our series of 80 patients with transmural low and mid rectal endometriosis disc excision using a semicircular staple device can result in good functional outcomes and quality of life and avoid the complexity and potential complications of a low anterior resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endometriosis is associated with pain and infertility. Surgical interventions aim to remove visible areas of endometriosis and restore the anatomy. OBJECTIVES To assess the effectiveness and safety of laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of pain and infertility associated with endometriosis. SEARCH METHODS This review has drawn on the search strategy developed by the Cochrane Gynaecology and Fertility Group including searching the Cochrane Gynaecology and Fertility Group's specialised register, CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, reference lists for relevant trials, and trial registries from inception to April 2020. SELECTION CRITERIA We selected randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that compared the effectiveness and safety of laparoscopic surgery with any other laparoscopic or robotic intervention, holistic or medical treatment, or diagnostic laparoscopy only. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently performed selection of studies, assessment of trial quality and extraction of relevant data with disagreements resolved by a third review author. We collected data for the core outcome set for endometriosis. Primary outcomes included overall pain and live birth. We evaluated the quality of evidence using GRADE methods. MAIN RESULTS We included 14 RCTs. The studies randomised 1563 women with endometriosis. Four RCTs compared laparoscopic ablation or excision with diagnostic laparoscopy only. Two RCTs compared laparoscopic excision with diagnostic laparoscopy only. One RCT compared laparoscopic ablation or excision with laparoscopic ablation or excision and uterine suspension. Two RCTs compared laparoscopic ablation and uterine nerve transection with diagnostic laparoscopy only. One RCT compared laparoscopic ablation with diagnostic laparoscopy and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogues. Two RCTs compared laparoscopic ablation with laparoscopic excision. One RCT compared laparoscopic ablation or excision with helium thermal coagulator with laparoscopic ablation or excision with electrodiathermy. One RCT compared conservative laparoscopic surgery with laparoscopic colorectal resection of deep endometriosis infiltrating the rectum. Common limitations in the primary studies included lack of clearly described blinding, failure to fully describe methods of randomisation and allocation concealment, and poor reporting of outcome data. Laparoscopic treatment versus diagnostic laparoscopy We are uncertain of the effect of laparoscopic treatment on overall pain scores compared to diagnostic laparoscopy only at six months (mean difference (MD) 0.90, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.31 to 1.49; 1 RCT, 16 participants; very low quality evidence) and at 12 months (MD 1.65, 95% CI 1.11 to 2.19; 1 RCT, 16 participants; very low quality evidence), where a positive value means pain relief (the higher the score, the more pain relief) and a negative value reflects pain increase (the lower the score, the worse the increase in pain). No studies looked at live birth. We are uncertain of the effect of laparoscopic treatment on quality of life compared to diagnostic laparoscopy only: EuroQol-5D index summary at six months (MD 0.03, 95% CI -0.12 to 0.18; 1 RCT, 39 participants; low quality evidence), 12-item Short Form (SF-12) mental health component (MD 2.30, 95% CI -4.50 to 9.10; 1 RCT, 39 participants; low quality evidence) and SF-12 physical health component (MD 2.70, 95% CI -2.90 to 8.30; 1 RCT, 39 participants; low quality evidence). Laparoscopic treatment probably improves viable intrauterine pregnancy rate compared to diagnostic laparoscopy only (odds ratio (OR) 1.89, 95% CI 1.25 to 2.86; 3 RCTs, 528 participants; I2 = 0%; moderate quality evidence). We are uncertain of the effect of laparoscopic treatment compared to diagnostic laparoscopy only on ectopic pregnancy (MD 1.18, 95% CI 0.10 to 13.48; 1 RCT, 100 participants; low quality evidence) and miscarriage (MD 0.94, 95% CI 0.35 to 2.54; 2 RCTs, 112 participants; low quality evidence). There was limited reporting of adverse events. No conversions to laparotomy were reported in both groups (1 RCT, 341 participants). Laparoscopic ablation and uterine nerve transection versus diagnostic laparoscopy We are uncertain of the effect of laparoscopic ablation and uterine nerve transection on adverse events (more specifically vascular injury) compared to diagnostic laparoscopy only (OR 0.33, 95% CI 0.01 to 8.32; 1 RCT, 141 participants; low quality evidence). No studies looked at overall pain scores (at six and 12 months), live birth, quality of life, viable intrauterine pregnancy confirmed by ultrasound, ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage. Laparoscopic ablation versus laparoscopic excision There was insufficient evidence to determine whether there was a difference in overall pain, measured at 12 months, for laparoscopic ablation compared with laparoscopic excision (MD 0.00, 95% CI -1.22 to 1.22; 1 RCT, 103 participants; very low quality evidence). No studies looked at overall pain scores at six months, live birth, quality of life, viable intrauterine pregnancy confirmed by ultrasound, ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage and adverse events. Helium thermal coagulator versus electrodiathermy We are uncertain whether helium thermal coagulator compared to electrodiathermy improves quality of life using the 30-item Endometriosis Health Profile (EHP-30) at nine months, when considering the components: pain (MD 6.68, 95% CI -3.07 to 16.43; 1 RCT, 119 participants; very low quality evidence), control and powerlessness (MD 4.79, 95% CI -6.92 to 16.50; 1 RCT, 119 participants; very low quality evidence), emotional well-being (MD 6.17, 95% CI -3.95 to 16.29; 1 RCT, 119 participants; very low quality evidence) and social support (MD 5.62, 95% CI -6.21 to 17.45; 1 RCT, 119 participants; very low quality evidence). Adverse events were not estimable. No studies looked at overall pain scores (at six and 12 months), live birth, viable intrauterine pregnancy confirmed by ultrasound, ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Compared to diagnostic laparoscopy only, it is uncertain whether laparoscopic surgery reduces overall pain associated with minimal to severe endometriosis. No data were reported on live birth. There is moderate quality evidence that laparoscopic surgery increases viable intrauterine pregnancy rates confirmed by ultrasound compared to diagnostic laparoscopy only. No studies were found that looked at live birth for any of the comparisons. Further research is needed considering the management of different subtypes of endometriosis and comparing laparoscopic interventions with lifestyle and medical interventions. There was insufficient evidence on adverse events to allow any conclusions to be drawn regarding safety.

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION Is there a difference in functional outcomes and recurrence rate between conservative versus radical rectal surgery in patients with large deep endometriosis infiltrating the rectum 5 years postoperatively? SUMMARY ANSWER No evidence was found that long-term outcomes differed when nodule excision was compared to rectal resection for deeply invasive endometriosis involving the bowel. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Functional outcomes of nodule excision and rectal resection for deeply invasive endometriosis involving the bowel are comparable 2 years after surgery. Despite numerous previously reported case series enrolling patients managed for colorectal endometriosis, long-term data remain scarce in the literature. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION From March 2011 to August 2013, we performed a two-arm randomized trial, enrolling 60 patients with deep endometriosis infiltrating the rectum up to 15 cm from the anus, measuring >20 mm in length, involving at least the muscular layer in depth, and up to 50% of rectal circumference. Among them, 55 women were enrolled at one tertial referral centre in endometriosis, using a randomization list drawn up separately for this centre. Institute review board approval was obtained to continue follow-up to 10 years postoperatively. One patient requested to stop the follow-up 2 years after surgery. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS Patients underwent either nodule excision by shaving or disc excision, or segmental resection. Randomization was performed preoperatively using sequentially numbered, opaque, sealed envelopes, and patients were informed of randomization results. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients experiencing one of the following symptoms: constipation (1 stool/>5 consecutive days), frequent bowel movements (≥3 stools/day), anal incontinence, dysuria or bladder atony requiring self-catheterization 24 months postoperatively. Secondary endpoints were values taken from the Knowles–Eccersley–Scott-symptom questionnaire (KESS), the gastrointestinal quality of life index (GIQLI), the Wexner scale, the urinary symptom profile (USP) and the Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF36). MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE Fifty-five patients were enrolled. Among the 27 patients in the excision arm, two were converted to segmental resection (7.4%). One patient managed by segmental resection withdrew from the study 2 years postoperatively, presuming that associated pain of other aetiologies may have jeopardized the outcomes. The 5 year-recurrence rate for excision and resection was 3.7% versus 0% (P = 1), respectively. For excision and resection, the primary endpoint was present in 44.4% versus 60.7% of patients (P = 0.29), respectively, while 55.6% versus 53.6% of patients subjectively reported normal bowel movements (P = 1). An intention-to-treat comparison of overall KESS, GIQLI, Wexner, USP and SF36 scores did not reveal significant differences between the two arms 5 years postoperatively. Statistically significant improvement was observed shortly after surgery with no further improvement or impairment recorded 1–5 years postoperatively. During the 5-year follow-up, additional surgical procedures were performed in 25.9% versus 28.6% of patients who had undergone excision or resection (P = 0.80), respectively. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION The presumption of a 40% difference concerning postoperative functional outcomes in favour of nodule excision resulted in a lack of power for demonstration of the primary endpoint difference. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS Five-year follow-up data do not show statistically significant differences between conservative and radical rectal surgery for long-term functional digestive and urinary outcomes in this specific population of women with large involvement of the rectum. STUDY FUNDING/COMPETING INTEREST(S) No specific funding was received. Patient enrolment and follow-up until 2 years postoperatively was supported by a grant from the clinical research programme for hospitals in France. The authors declare no competing interests related to this study. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER This randomized study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT 01291576. TRIAL REGISTRATION DATE 31 January 2011. DATE OF FIRST PATIENT’S ENROLMENT 7 March 2011.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Surgical management of deep endometriosis with colorectal involvement remains an option after failure of medical treatments. Conventional laparoscopy is currently considered the standard approach for surgical treatment. Recently, assisted-robotic laparoscopy emerged as an alternative to conventional laparoscopy but with low evidence. METHODS From March 2019 to September 2019, we conducted a prospective cohort study of 48 patients undergoing a surgical treatment for colorectal endometriosis (rectal shaving, discoid excision or segmental resection). The interventions were either performed by robotic or conventional laparoscopy. Patients' characteristics, operative and post-operative data were compared between the robotic and the conventional laparoscopic group. RESULTS 48 patients were included, 25 in the conventional laparoscopy group and 23 in the robotic group. Patients' characteristics and operative findings were similar between the two groups, except for a trend in a higher incidence of associated surgical urinary or digestive procedures in the robotic group (p = 0.06). The mean total surgical room occupancy time and operating time were longer in the in the robotic group (281 ± 97 min vs 208 ± 85 min; p = 0.008) and (221 ± 94 min vs 163 ± 83 min (p = 0.03), respectively. The mean intra operative blood loss, the incidence of intra operative, post-operative complication (according to Clavien-Dindo classification) rates and voiding dysfunction were similar in the two groups. The rate of grade III complication was higher in the robotic group (13 % vs 0%) without reaching a significance (p = 0.17). The mean hospital stay was 8 ± 4.4 days in the robotic group and 6.5 ± 2.6 days in the conventional laparoscopy group (p = 0.18). CONCLUSION Despite our initial experience in robotic surgery, our results support that robotic surgery is an adequate alternative to conventional laparoscopy for endometriosis colorectal resection.

Surgery-related complications and long-term functional morbidity after segmental colo-rectal resection for deep infiltrating endometriosis (ENDO-RESECT morb). Arch Gynecol Obstet 2020; 302:983-993. [PMID: 32676859 DOI: 10.1007/s00404-020-05694-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2020] [Accepted: 07/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Segmental resection has been generally associated with increased peri-operative risk of major complications. While major complications are widely acknowledged, minor complications, such as slight, to moderate infections, peripheral sensory disturbances, bladder voiding dysfunction, postoperative urinary obstruction, and sexual disorders are less reported. The aim of this study is to investigate the surgery-related complications and functional disorders, as well as to evaluate their persistence after long-term follow-up in women undergone segmental resection for deep infiltrating endometriosis. Special attention is given to evaluating impairments of bowel, bladder, and sexual function. METHODS All clinical data obtained from medical records of women who underwent segmental resection for intestinal endometriosis between October 2005, and November 2017, in Catholic University Institutions. Perioperative morbidity was classified by Extended Clavien-Dindo classification. Postoperative intestinal, voiding, and sexual morbidity was estimated by the compilation of specific questionnaires. RESULTS Fifty women were included in the study. Forty-three high colorectal resections (86%), 6 low resections (12%), and 1 ultra-low resection (2%) were performed, while in 3 cases (6%) multiple resections were needed. The overall complication rate was 44%. Nineteen women (38%) experienced early complications and 3 women (6%) late complications. Long-term functional postoperative complications were composed of intestinal in 30%, urinary in 50%, and sexual in 64% of the study population. Median follow-up was 55.5 months. CONCLUSIONS Segmental resection, when indicated, offers a radical and feasible approach for bowel deep infiltrating endometriosis, resulting in an improved general quality of life. The bowel and bladder complications appear to be acceptable and often reversible. Postoperative sexual dysfunctions, such as anorgasmia and insufficient vaginal lubrication, appear to persist over time. Surgeons and women have to be aware of the incidence of this kind of complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of the study was to describe the inferior hypogastric plexus and nerves constituting the para-rectal fossa in order to study the importance of anatomical knowledge in rectal endometriosis surgery. METHODS In order to discover the complete anatomy of the study area, we carried out a review of the literature and relied on dissection of a female cadaver and operative dissections in patients treated for rectal endometriosis. RESULTS The inferior hypogastric plexus, the hypogastric nerve and the pelvic splanchnic nerves are the nervous elements component the para-rectal fossa. These nerves were important urinary, digestive and sexual functions. The dissection of the Okabayashi and the Latzko spaces within the para-rectal fossa and sparing nerve within this zone is more important for the prevention of traumatic nervous sequelae during rectal endometriosis surgery. The pelvic anatomy can be by attraction and sheathing nerve structures by endometriosis lesions which can complicate preservation techniques. CONCLUSION Lesions of pelvic vegetative nerves running through the para-rectal fossa can be responsible for urinary, digestive and sexual disorders that can affect patients quality of life. There is currently only one standardized "nerve sparing" technique in pelvic endometriosis surgery. Knowledge of the anatomy of the nerves making up the para-rectal fossa helps to orient the operative dissection and prevent postoperative nerve complications after surgery for rectal endometriosis.

Abstract
AIM Using a prospective database of discoid resection performed in two tertiary referral centres, the aim of this study is to assess the feasibility, short-term complication rates and clinical outcomes, including voiding dysfunction, of the procedure. METHOD A retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort database was conducted from February 2010 to October 2017 in two tertiary referral centres. One hundred and forty-eight consecutive patients scheduled for colorectal endometriosis by discoid resection were enrolled. The median follow-up was 21 months. All the women underwent complete preoperative assessment (MRI, transvaginal ultrasonography and rectal echo-endoscopy) before the removal of colorectal endometriosis. Postoperative complications were classified according to the Clavien-Dindo classification system as minor (grades I and II) or major (grades IIIA, IIIB and IV). Cases of voiding dysfunction were also noted. RESULTS The procedure was abandoned in seven patients. In 91 (64.5%) of the remaining 141 patients, the diameter of discoid resection removed was ≥ 30 mm. Surgery was performed by laparoscopy in 137/141 cases (92.7%). Grade I-III complications were observed in 37 patients (26.2%) with 11 grade IIIb (7.8%). Postoperative voiding dysfunction occurred in 16 patients (11.3%), 11 of whom required self-catheterization for < 1 month. In a multivariate analysis including age, body mass index, lesion size and history of previous surgery for endometriosis, a history of previous surgery was independently correlated to complication outcome (P = 0.043). CONCLUSIONS This analysis suggests that discoid resection is associated with good short-term results for women with colorectal endometriosis in a tertiary referral centre as it is associated with a low rate of postoperative complications.
