A team headed by Dr Abhishek Mangeshikar, a consultant laparoscopic and robotic gynaecologist, ACI Cumballa Hill Hospital, successfully diagnosed and treated a 35-year-old American woman with a large endometriosis nodule in the mid and upper rectum almost resulting in occlusion, and inability to conceive due to significant endometriosis and adenomyosis. The patient who complained of chronic period pain, constipation, and bloating resumed her daily routine and is also scheduled to undergo an IVF treatment soon in the US.
Dr Mangeshikar said, “The patient underwent surgery on July 20, 2021. An exploratory laparoscopy for excision of endometriosis with segmental resection anastomoses of the rectum was carried out to treat a frozen pelvis with excision of endometriosis and resection of the rectum which showed involvement of about 10cms of length. The procedure lasted for seven hours, and the patient underwent surgery with minimal blood loss and was discharged on post-op Day 7 without even a week after her surgery.”
