Abstract Demonstrate a successful laparoscopic removal of endometriosis from within the inguinal canal via a step-by-step video explanation, underscore the importance of pre-operative MRI imaging, and provide education on anatomy and surgical technique. Video case presentation of a successful laparoscopic removal of endometriosis from within the inguinal canal. A single patient with MRI imaging revealing endometriosis invasion into the inguinal canal and local vasculature. The patient included in this video gave consent for publication of the video and posting of the video online including social media, the journal website, scientific literature websites (such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, etc.) and other applicable sites. The patient’s abdomen was entered, and vasculature was identified to prevent major bleeding. Appropriate exposure was achieved by transecting the round ligament to provide a landmark for the inguinal canal. The endometriosis was identified and dissected off the external iliac vasculature and the abdominal wall using the squeeze technique. The endometriosis was then dissected out of the inguinal canal, off the femoral artery, and then removed from the abdomen. Postoperatively, the patient was started on norethindrone acetate to suppress any residual disease and prevent recurrence. Patient’s pain and quality of life postoperatively. The patient noted immediate pain relief in the recovery room. One year postoperatively, the patient continued to endorse pain relief and no signs of hernia. Inguinal canal endometriosis is of rare occurrence. It typically presents as a groin lump or pain that is worse with menstruation. As the endometriosis is in close proximity to the abdominal wall and local vasculature, MRI imaging, as well as general surgery and vascular surgery consultation are necessary for proper surgical planning. These are difficult operations that require a proper understanding of pelvic and inguinal canal anatomy. Endometriosis del Canal Inguinal Demostrar la resección laparoscópica exitosa de endometriosis localizada dentro del canal inguinal mediante una explicación en video paso a paso; resaltar la importancia de la resonancia magnética nuclear (RMN) preoperatoria; y proporcionar educación sobre la anatomía y la técnica quirúrgica. Presentación de caso en video que muestra la resección laparoscópica exitosa de endometriosis del canal inguinal. Paciente única con imágenes por RMN que evidenciaron invasión de endometriosis en el canal inguinal y la vasculatura local. La paciente dio su consentimiento para la publicación y difusión del video online, incluidas redes sociales, el sitio web de la revista, portales de literatura científica (como PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, etc.) y otros sitios pertinentes. Se accedió al abdomen y se identificó la vasculatura para prevenir hemorragias mayores. Se logró una exposición adecuada mediante la transección del ligamento redondo, lo que sirvió como referencia anatómica para localizar el canal inguinal. La endometriosis fue identificada y disecada de la vasculatura ilíaca externa y la pared abdominal utilizando la técnica de compresión ("squeeze technique"). Luego se disecó del canal inguinal y de la arteria femoral, y se extrajo completamente del abdomen. En el postoperatorio, se inició tratamiento con acetato de noretindrona para suprimir enfermedad residual y prevenir recurrencias. Dolor y calidad de vida de la paciente en el postoperatorio. La paciente manifestó alivio inmediato del dolor en la sala de recuperación. Un año después de la cirugía, continuaba sin dolor y sin signos de hernia. La endometriosis del canal inguinal es una entidad poco frecuente que suele presentarse como una masa o dolor inguinal, especialmente durante la menstruación. Dada su cercanía a la pared abdominal y a la vasculatura local, la planificación quirúrgica adecuada requiere imágenes por RMN, así como evaluación por cirugía general y cirugía vascular. Se trata de procedimientos quirúrgicos complejos que exigen un conocimiento detallado de la anatomía pélvica y del canal inguinal. [Display omitted]
