Laparoscopic closure of the pouch of Douglas by a peritoneal running suture. A minimally invasive and prosthetic-free technique to prevent excessive dose delivery to the small bowel during pelvic irradiation for prostate cancer
Abstract
Prostate radiotherapy relies on the delivery of high doses that can be obstructed when a small bowel loop descends in the pelvis. We present a laparoscopic minimally invasive prosthetic-free technique closing the Douglas' pouch with a peritoneal running suture to cordon off the bowel from the pelvis and hence allow optimal irradiation.Prostate cancer patients referred for radiotherapy and whose planning-CT revealed a bowel loop trapped in the...
