AI Article Synopsis
- The study included three groups of women: those who had colorectal segmental resection for endometriosis, those who had endometriosis removed without bowel resection, and those with severe endometriosis but no bowel issues.
- Long-term follow-up revealed that women with colorectal endometriosis experienced more frequent pain reduction after surgery.
- Additionally, women with bowel endometriosis showed a lower recurrence rate when they underwent segmental resection compared to those who did not have bowel surgery.
Article Abstract
In this retrospective cohort study, three groups of patients were included: 60 women who underwent endometriosis surgery with colorectal segmental resection, 40 women with surgical evidence of bowel endometriosis who underwent endometriosis removal without bowel resection, and 55 women affected by moderate or severe endometriosis with at least one endometrioma and deep infiltrating endometriosis but without bowel involvement. The results of a long-term ambulatory follow-up showed that if colorectal endometriosis was present, postoperative pain regression was more frequent, and among patients with bowel endometriosis the rate of recurrence was lower if segmental resection was performed.
