SURGEON’S EYE VIEW | Pouch Of Douglas obliteration
Endometriosis is the most common cause of an obliterated pouch of Douglas, with the disease causing adhesions that result in the loss of the normal space between the uterus and re**um. As a result, surgical procedures are more complex and the risk of bowel involvement increases significantly. That’s why we work with leading colore**al surgeon Associate Professor Walid Barlow on joint surgical procedures.
