Abstract

Robotic-assisted video laparoscopic surgery has enabled more surgeon to perform delicate video laparoscopic surgeries, including surgery for endometriosis. Endometriosis affects approximetely 10% of all reproductive-aged women and approximately 35–50% of women with pelvic pain and infertility [6]. It involves the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the endometrial canal of the uterus. Extragenital endometriosis is a surgical challenge for many gynecologist, with bowel endometriosis accounting for 80% of extragenital lesions [7, 8]. Deep infiltrative endometriosis can also be encountered along the urinary tract, causing bladder symptoms, or, if invading the ureter, can lead to hydronephrosis [9]. Video laparoscopic surgery with the use of robotic platform may aid in the surgical management of these pathologies.
