“Sydney Shaving”: A Safer Alternative to Segmental Bowel Resection for Rectal Endometriosis

This surgical video showcases Dr. Chou’s innovative technique, Sydney Shaving, for managing rectal endometriosis. The procedure involves the strategic injection of a coloured solution into the submucosal layer of the bowel, effectively separating the layers of the rectal wall. This technique allows for precise and safer excision of endometriotic lesions while preserving bowel integrity.

Sydney Shaving offers a less invasive alternative to segmental bowel resection, significantly reducing the risk of complications commonly associated with more extensive surgical approaches.
