- Abstract
BACKGROUND: Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is presented as a disease with high recurrence risk. Bladder DIE is the most frequent location in cases of urinary endometriosis. Surgical removal has been recommended for bladder DIE but long-term outcomes remains unevaluated. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the rate of recurrence after partial cystectomy for patients presenting with bladder DIE and to outline the surgical modalities for handling associated posterior DIE nodules.
