A 19-year-old woman underwent laparoscopic resection of extensive endometriosis of the cul-de-sac. At completion of surgery the abdomen was deflated for 3 minutes with the patient still in Trendelenburg position, before she was reexamined for intraoperative bleeding. The patient was taken back to surgery 7 hours postoperatively to arrest hemorrhage.
