AAGL 2015 Live Telesurgery – “Resection of Deep Infiltrative Endometriosis Plus/Minus Segmental Resection If Indicated” with Mario Malzoni, M.D.
COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course provides a live surgical demonstration of a laparoscopic assisted bowel segmental resection for deep infiltrating endometriosis. This is a very effective technique in symptomatic patients in terms of reduced pain and restored bowel function. It can be considered feasible and safe, with low complication rates, but being a highly complex surgery, requiring specific skills in laparoscopic urologic and colorectal procedures, it is advisable to be performed only in specialized high volume centers by high volume surgeons. This session demonstrates surgical technique, discusses appropriate candidates for this procedure, and shows tips and tricks to overcome the difficulties related to disruption of pelvic anatomy due to severe infiltrating endometriosis.
