“Robot-assisted partial cystectomy for deep infiltrating endometriosis of the bladder with the Hugo RAS system”.

Involvement of the lower urinary tract is found in 0.2-2.5% of all deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE)1,2. The bladder is the most affected organ with a prevalence of up to 80% of cases3. Patients with bladder endometriosis are often symptomatic (dysuria, hyperactive bladder, recurrent urinary tract infections and hematuria). Surgery is the gold standard treatment for this condition when medical therapy fails1,2. Several studies have shown the feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of the laparoscopic approach4 but data about robotic-assisted approach are missing in literature.
