[Assessment of the urinary side effects after surgery for deep pelvic endometriosis].
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the urinary side effects after laparoscopic surgery for deep endometriosis.


METHODS
Longitudinal study including 86 patients operated for deep pelvic endometriosis : 58 (68%) with colorectal endometriosis, 21 (24%) with utero-sacral ligament endometriosis and 7 (8%) with recto-vaginal septum endometriosis. Assessment of the urinary side effects was permormed using the Bristole Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptom questionnaire.


RESULTS
On postsurgical follow-up, almost all patients described: hesistancy (p = 0.02), strain to start (p = 0.04), stopping flow (p = 0.01), incomplete emptying (p = 0.008) and reduce stream (p=0.02). Only patients who had resection of both utero-sacral ligaments had significative postsurgical urinary dysfunction with stopping flow (p = 0.02) and incomplete emptying (p = 0.004). Patients with colorectal resection had also significative postsurgical urinary dysfunction with hesitancy (p = 0.02), strain to start (p = 0.03), stopping flow (p = 0.007) and incomplete emptying (p = 0.004). In patients with rectal resection, urinary dysfunctions are raised when rectal resection is associated to resection of both utero-sacral ligaments.


CONCLUSIONS
Postoperatively, urinary side effects occurred only in patients with segmental colorectal endometriosis resection associated with bilateral utero-sacral ligament resection. Sparing nerve surgery of the pelvic nerves, can reduce these urinary side effects.
