Abstract:
Endometriosis is a benign pathology that affects 3% of the general population and about 10% of women of reproductive age. Three anatomoclinical entities are described: peritoneal, ovarian (endometrioma) and deep endometriosis characterized by the infiltration of anatomical structures or organs beyond the peritoneum. Laparoscopic surgery should be performed, as this is associated with a reduction in postoperative complications, length of hospitalization and convalescence. Several surgical techniques allow the removal of deep endometriosis with colorectal involvement: rectal shaving, anterior discoid resection, segmental resection. Deep endometriosis surgery with colorectal involvement is a source of postoperative complications: anastomotic fistula, rectovaginal fistula, intestinal occlusion, digestive haemorrhage, urinary fistula, deep pelvic abscess. Involvement of the urinary tract by endometriosis affects approximately 1% of patients with endometriosis.
