Purpose Of Review:
To present the outcome of laparoscopic resection for bowel endometriosis.
Recent Findings:
In the last 12 months, numerous articles have been published to demonstrate and underline the efficiency and feasibility of the laparoscopic approach in the treatment of bowel endometriosis.
Summary:
Endometriosis is a common condition that can affect women in their reproductive age. It can have an intestinal involvement, and when it occurs rectum and rectosigmoid junction are the most frequent sites; other lesser frequent sites are the appendix, the distal ileum, and the cecum. It is widely agreed that surgical management is the primary treatment for symptomatic bowel endometriosis. Laparoscopic bowel resection has become increasingly popular because it represents a well tolerated and feasible technique.
