Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Patients who underwent surgery for deep endometriosis were submitted to procedures aiming at sparing the pelvic autonomic nervous system. They were observed prospectively followed and interviewed in order to evaluate functional outcomes after surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Surgical tretament for deep endometriosis can produce lesions at the level of the pelvic autonomic system.

Before surgery and 3-12 months after the nerve-sparing surgical procedures, patients were assessed for urinary, sexual and fecal function, in order to evaluate whether sparing of the nerves during the intervention had a beneficial impact on post-operative pelvic function.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

NERVE SPARING

Patients who underwent surgery for deep endometriosis were submitted to surgical procedures aiming at sparing the pelvic ortho- and parasympathetic nerves. The subjects were then followed with interviews using validated questionnaires, to assess the possible changes in post-operative urinary sexual and fecal function.

Validated questionnaires

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients were administered pre- and post-operatively the three validated questionnaires ((FSFI, ICIQ-UI short form Italian, NBD score) investigating sexual, urinary, and fecal function, respectively.
