Abstract

Endometriosis is a prevalent disease in females of the childbearing age. It may be accompanied by bowel involvement. In such cases, the most frequently observed lesion locations are the rectum and the rectosigmoid with the occurrence rate of 3-37 %. Treatment of severe forms of deep infiltrating endometriosis with bowel wall involvement is one of the most challenging problems of modern gynaecology. Apart from general intra- and postoperative risks (haemorrhage, infection, direct damage to the organs) or bowel and bladder dysfunction, one of the most severe complications is the development of anastomotic leaks. This article presents a review of literatures dated 2010-2020 searched for in PubMed and Google Scholar databases and devoted to operative treatment of patients with deep infi ltrating endometriosis. We made an emphasis on the effi cacy of the multidisciplinary approach to operative treatment of patients with deep infiltrating endometriosis and bowel involvement. Multidisciplinary laparoscopic treatment has become a standard of medical aid in deep infiltrating endometriosis. Depending on the size of endometrial lesion and the location of bowel involvement, complete removal of the infiltrate or bowel resection is performed in cooperation with an experienced colorectal surgeon. The operative tactics in laparoscopic endometriosis resection, including bowel resection, may provide advantages for both the patients and the healthcare system. The optimal model is to be chosen drawing on the basis of the maximum benefit for the patient.
