Many urogynecological and surgical laparoscopic interventions require access to the retropubic space, also known as the space of Retzius. Especially in patients with a history of previous surgery in this area or in general in the lower abdomen, the preparation may be complicated by adhesions and scar tissue. The necessity to combine several laparoscopic procedures in one surgical session may require consideration of the most appropriate way to approach the retropubic space. We describe and discuss three different options to access the space of Retzius via laparoscopy: the medial transperitoneal, the extraperitoneal and the lateral transperitoneal approach. For all approaches, we used one umbilical trocar and two trocars in the lower abdomen. An algorithm was developed to select the most appropriate access route to the retropubic space, depending on the history of previous surgeries and accompanying interventions. The knowledge of different access routes to the retropubic space offers the possibility of adjusting the surgical procedure to the individual constellation of the patient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
