BACKGROUND: The short-term results of a retrospective consecutive series of multidisciplinary laparoscopic approach to deep infiltrating @entity46 with intestinal involvement requiring segmental bowel resection procedures are presented. METHODS: @entity1 with radiologically or intraoperative-confirmed @entity46 , who underwent a combined laparoscopic segmental bowel resection by a team of gynecologists and colorectal surgeons, were retrospectively reviewed. The postoperative data were collected in a specific database and analyzed for short-term (30  days) postoperative outcomes with the comparison between two specimen's extraction methods. RESULTS: Forty-one @entity1 (median age of 36  years, range 25-44) have been operated by a combined team of gynecologist and colorectal surgeons. The median operative time was 247.5  min (range 155-375), and median estimated @entity190 was 300  ml (range 100-1300). In 20 @entity1 , the surgical specimens were extracted transvaginally, while in 21 cases, a sovrapubic transverse Pfannenstiel minilaparotomy was used. No intraoperative complications or conversion to laparotomy were reported. An acceptable cumulative rate of postoperative morbidity was observed (6/41, 15  %), without any postoperative @entity204 . Comparing the two subgroups of @entity1 with different modalities of specimen retrieval, @entity282 (assessed by visual analog scale) was significantly reduced in the transvaginal extraction group (median: 1 and range: 0-2 vs median: 3, 5 and range: 1-6; p  =  0.002), without any statistically significant differences in terms of complications. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic bowel segmental resection combined with gynecologic surgery for deep infiltrating @entity46 with intestinal involvement is a valid treatment option with a low rate of @entity260 . Transvaginal specimen extraction allows the same results of minilaparotomic incision, minimizing surgical @entity130 and warranting a clear benefit in terms of reduction of @entity282 .
