Résumé
Deep infiltrating pelvic endometriosis and its surgical management is associated with a risk of major postoperative complications. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is recommended preoperatively in order to obtain the most precise mapping of the extent of endometriotic lesions. The aim of this work was to assess the feasibility and clinical interest of 3D modeling by surface rendering as a preoperative planning tool in a patient with deep infiltrating pelvic endometriosis. We report on a 42 years old patient with history of endometriosis and persistent pain underwent pre operative imaging with MRI that was consistent with deep infiltrating endometriosis. A 3D model of the deep infiltrating endometriosis was generated from the MRI and retrospectively compared to the intra-operative findings. The nodule's location and relationship to the uterus and the rectum was clearly defined by the 3D model and correlated with surgical findings. Virtual reality based on 3D models could be an interesting tool to assist in the preoperative planning of complex surgeries.
