Deep endometriosis is the most difficult type of the disease to diagnose and treat. It is a condition that arises when endometrial-like tissue develops deeply in organs like the bowel, bladder, or pelvic ligaments, which usually result in severe pain in the pelvis, painful periods, infertility, and persistent inflammation. 

Conventional therapies are often short-term in nature, and recurrence may be a common occurrence. But over time, the technology of medicine has developed, and robotic surgery has become a new trend, which is more precise, results in better outcomes, and the rates of recurrence are reduced to an insignificant minimum. 

Femme Nest applies the robotic-assisted methods in order to provide patients with the best and least invasive treatment possible.

Understanding Deep Endometriosis

In contrast to the superficial endometriosis, deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is the type of endometriosis that affects tissues deeper than 5 mm below the surface. Such lesions may extend to the nearby organs, complicating surgery. Symptoms may include:

• Severe pelvic pain
• Painful intercourse
• Pain during urination or during bowel movements.
• Heavy periods
• Infertility
• Fatigue and stomach pain are chronic.

Due to its infiltrating nature, full excision is the only way to be relieved in the long term- however, it needs a high level of surgery and technology to do so.

Why Traditional Surgery May Lead to Higher Recurrence

Traditional laparoscopy works with numerous patients, but with deep endometriosis, there are problems:

• Poor visibility of narrow or obstructed pelvic areas.
• Problem with access to deeply infiltrated lesions.
• Greater opportunities to abandon microscopic disease.

The possibility of damaging the surrounding organs due to the lack of mobility of the instruments used.

Why Robotic Surgery Offers Lower Recurrence Rates

One of the most sophisticated forms of minimally invasive surgeries today is the robotic-assisted surgery. Robotic surgery enables surgeons to have better control, using a high-definition and 3D camera and wristed instruments that simulate human hand movements, but with much better control.

This is why patients who have deep endometriosis have reduced rates of recurrence during robotic surgery:

1. Exceptional Precision and Visibility

Robotic systems provide enlarged 3D vision, which allows surgeons to detect even the smallest lesions of endometriosis. This increased insight brings about:

• Better ablation of diseased tissue.
• Less chance of abandoning microscopic implants.
• Increased safety of nerves and organs.
• This will be very important in averting recurrence and conserving fertility.

2. Better Access to Difficult Areas

Deep endometriosis afflicts intricate body organs, including:

• Uterosacral ligaments
• Bowel and rectum
• Bladder
• Pelvic sidewalls

Robotized instruments are 360-degree rotating and have unsurpassed flexibility, enabling them to excise precisely, even in tight or deep areas that the traditional tool can hardly reach. Such a comprehensive elimination helps a great deal to eliminate recurrence.

3. Reduced Blood Loss and Tissue Trauma

Minimal invasive and highly controlled Robotic surgery bears the following:

• Less blood loss
• Reduced inflammation
• Faster healing
• Reduced post-operative complications.

The fact that there is minimal harm to the surrounding tissues implies that there is better healing of the internal environment, thus minimizing the possibility of regrowth.

4. Better Nerve Preservation

Deep endometriosis may also include the entrapment of pelvic nerves that causes chronic pain. Robotics enables superior nerve mapping and preservation, which provides:

• Enhanced long-term pelvic activity.
• Lower chronic pain
• Improved bowel and bladder functions.

Conservation of nerves is also a way of decreasing recurrence caused by inflammation.

5. Improved Fertility Outcomes

In the case of women with difficulties in conception, endometriosis can be removed using robots, which leads to:

• More complete excision
• Lower levels of ovarian tissue injury.
• Reduced scar formation

This enhances the probability of conception and reduces the recurrence before conception

Recovery and Long-Term Results

The majority of women who have robotic surgery face:

• Smaller incisions
• Less postoperative pain
• Quickening of recovery of normal activities.
• Shorter hospital stays

And best of all--reduced recurrence as compared to traditional surgery. Research indicates that long-term pain treatment and fertility rates are much greater when deep endometriosis is removed robotically by skilled surgeons.
