Robotic treatment for urinary tract endometriosis: preliminary results and surgical details in a high-volume single-Institutional cohort study.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAim of the study was to present the surgical techniques and the postoperative outcomes in women treated with robotic excision for deep endometriosis involving the urinary tract. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the prospectively recorded clinical data of women consecutively undergoing minimally invasive treatment for complex endometriosis involving urinary tract in our center between January 2012 and June 2018. All the patients received a preoperative multidisciplinary evaluation with the general surgeon, the gynecologist and the urologist due to the frequent concomitant involvement of bowel and genital system. Patients undergoing robotic surgery were treated with the Si or Xi da Vinci surgical system.
resultsA total of 74 consecutive patients were enrolled. Twenty-eight (37.8%) patients underwent conventional laparoscopy and 46 (62.2%) robotic surgery. Only patients treated with robotic approach were considered for the final analyses. Overall, 17 (36.9%) patients were treated with partial cystectomy, 13 (28.3%) with ureteral reimplantation, 10 (21.7%) patients were treated with ureteral lysis, 4 (8.7%) with removal of bladder endometrial node without opening the mucosa layer and 2 (4.3%) with ureteral end-to-end anastomosis. Concomitant involvement of bowel and genital system was registered in 14 (30.4%) and 32 (69.5%) patients, respectively. No conversions to laparotomy were recorded. Overall, 5 (10.9%) patients experienced postoperative complications, of which only one was a major complication (Clavien 3b). At a median follow-up of 31.3 (IQR 17.6-43.3) months, 4 (8.7%) patients experienced disease recurrence at the level of urinary tract.
conclusionsRobotic excision of urological endometriosis represents a safe and effective treatment option, since a limited rate of surgical complications was recorded even in cases of multi-organ disease.
