Summary
Nerve-sparing laparoscopic surgery for deep lateral parametrial endometriosis (dLPE) offers a safe and feasible solution for selected patients. This technique preserves autonomic nerves, avoiding bladder dysfunction and resolving severe pain, thus improving quality of life.
Area of Science:
- Minimally invasive gynecological surgery
- Pelvic endometriosis management
- Autonomic nerve preservation techniques
Background:
- Deep lateral parametrial endometriosis (dLPE) can involve autonomic nerves, complicating surgical treatment.
- Radical parametrectomy, even unilateral, risks bladder dysfunction and reduced quality of life.
- Preservation of pelvic autonomic nerves is crucial for maintaining organ function.
