Patients scheduled for laparoscopy for endometriosis may need to attend a Preoperative Clinic first. On surgery day, they'll meet with the surgical team, change into a gown, and receive a general anesthetic through an IV. Once asleep, the surgeon will make small incisions in the abdomen, inflate it with gas, and use a laparoscope to complete the procedure. Recovery from laparoscopic surgery is rapid and typically is from 1-2 weeks but this can depend on the extent of the surgery.
The minimally invasive gynaecologic surgery team at Laval University presents laparoscopic ureteroneocystostomy for severe endometriosis, a challenging case of dual distant lesions. Urinary tract endometriosis is common among women with deep endometriosis, with the bladder being most often affected. The ureter is involved in about 10% of cases. Our team has previously presented a six-step approach for managing these challenging ureteric endometriosis cases.
