Resection of Superficial Endometriosis: Three Laparoscopic Techniques

Study Objective

This video explores three laparoscopic techniques for superficial endometriosis resection—hydro dissection with a suction irrigator, excision with monopolar scissors, and laparoscopic laser excision. This video provides a comprehensive stepwise approach to the three resection techniques, as well as explores the benefits and drawbacks of each. Considerations include lesion characteristics, surgeon proficiency, instrument availability, and cost. These techniques enhance surgical options for superficial endometriosis, promoting a tailored approach to superficial endometriosis resection and optimized patient care.

Interventions

Systematic surgical approach for 3 different techniques for resection of endometriosis.

Measurements and Main Results

We demonstrated 3 different techniques for resection of endometriosis in this video.

Conclusion

In conclusion, these three techniques offer valuable options for resecting superficial endometriosis. The choice of technique may depend on the location and characteristics of the lesion and underlying tissue, surface area of desire tissue resection, availability, and cost of instruments, as well as the surgeon's training, experience, and preference.
