Endometriosis denotes the abnormal growth of tissue resembling endometrium in ectopic sites and has largely been studied in women of reproductive age. It is an extremely rare phenomenon in men. We came across an exceptional clinical scenario of histologically proven bladder endometriosis in a 66-year-old man in relook bladder biopsy following completion of adjuvant intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin induction course for G3pTa bladder cancer. We have pencilled down pathophysiology and commonly seen predisposing factors for "endometriosis in male patients" from available case reports and applied those findings to hypothesise the disease profile of our patient in this case report.

Purpose: The surgical approach to bowel endometriosis is still unclear. The aim of the study is to compare TICA to conventional specimen extractions and extra-abdominal insertion of the anvil in terms of both complications and functional outcomes.
Methods: This is a single-center, observational, retrospective study conducted enrolling symptomatic women underwent laparoscopic excision of deep endometriosis with segmental bowel resection between September 2019 and June 2022.

Introduction: The proximity of the urinary tract to the female genital tract explains its possible involvement in pelvic gynaecological cancer or deep endometriosis. Surgical treatment is aimed at improving overall survival and recurrence-free survival of patients, as well as restoring normal anatomy and functional integrity depending on the pathology. These operations are accompanied by significant post-operative complications.
