Outcome After Multidisciplinary CO2 Laser Laparoscopic Excision of Deep Infiltrating Colorectal Endometriosis
Outcome After Multidisciplinary CO2 Laser Laparoscopic Excision of Deep Infiltrating Colorectal Endometriosis

Improved pain, sexuality and quality of life, high fertility and low complication and recurrence rates after multidisciplinary CO2 laser laparoscopic excision of deep infiltrating colorectal endometriosis.

All women (n=56) who had undergone CO2 laser laparoscopic radical excision of deep infiltrating endometriosis with active involvement of colorectal surgeon and/or urologist were selected retrospectively from the list of all patients (n=more than 2000) operated at the Leuven University Fertility Centre (LUFc) between September 1996 and July 2004.

All 56 multidisciplinary operated patients were asked to complete the Oxford Endometriosis Quality of Life questionnaire, a sexual activity questionnaire and visual analogue scales (VAS) for dysmenorroe, chronic pelvic pain and deep dyspareunia, to compare their status before surgery and at the moment of the evaluation (January 2005).

Observational
Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Retrospective
Not Provided
Retention:   Samples Without DNA
Description:

Endometriosis was proven by histologic examination of excised lesions.

Non-Probability Sample

All women (n=56) who had undergone CO2 laser laparoscopic radical excision of deep infiltrating endometriosis with active involvement of colorectal surgeon and/or urologist were selected retrospectively from the list of all patients (n=more than 2000) operated at the Leuven University Fertility Centre (LUFc) between September 1996 and July 2004.

Endometriosis
  • Procedure: multidisciplinary laparoscopy
    Multidisciplinary (with active involvement of the colorectal surgeon/urologist) fertility-sparing CO2 laser laparoscopic radical excision of deep infiltrating endometriosis.
  • Other: Questionnaires
    Patients (n=56) were asked to complete questionnaires regarding quality of life (QOL), pain, fertility and sexuality to compare their status before and after surgery, and their medical files were analyzed.
