Abstrakt: The article discusses the unresolved debate on the optimal surgical approach for deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) of the rectum, focusing on whether bowel resection or a more conservative approach is preferable. Various surgical techniques, including rectal shaving, disc excision, and segmental resection, are compared in terms of symptom control, fertility outcomes, and complications. Studies highlight the importance of balancing the risks and benefits of each surgical option, with some advocating for less invasive approaches to minimize complications and improve quality of life for patients with rectal DIE.
