Normal function after conservative surgery in huge endometriosis of low rectum responsible for sub occlusion

4 month-postoperative update: The patient has normal bowel movements (1-2 stools/day, without pain, urgency or anal incontinence) and bladder voiding


37 years nullipara

Severe dyschesia, bloating and lack of stools during the periods, deep dyspareunia.

MRI revealed a huge rectovaginal endometriosis infiltrating the vagina on 3.5 cm diameter and low/mid rectum on 4-5 cm length, with advanced stenosis of rectal lumen.

We employed the Rouen technique: vaginal-laparoscopic-transanal approach enabling 6 cm diameter large disc excision of low rectum.

Overall operative time was 4 hours.

This was the 56th patient managed by the Rouen technique.
