TLDR
Prospective studies reporting standardized and well-defined clinical outcome after surgical treatment of deeply infiltrating endometriosis with colorectal involvement with long-term follow-up are needed.Abstract:
background: Treatment of colorectal endometriosis is difficult and challenging. We reviewed the clinical outcome of surgical treatment of deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) with colorectal involvement. methods: Review was based upon a literature search using following search terms: (1) ‘surgery’ and ‘colorectal endometriosis’, (2) ‘bowel’ and ‘endometriosis’ and ‘surgery’. Inclusion criteria: clear explanation of surgical technique and follow-up data on at least one of the following items: complications, pain, quality of life (QOL), fertility and recurrence. results: Most of the 49 studies included complications (94%) and pain (67%); few studies reported recurrence (41%), fertility (37%) and QOL (10%); only 29% reported (loss of) follow-up. Out of 3894 patients, 71% received bowel resection anastomosis, 10% received fullthickness disc excision and 17% were treated with superficial surgery. Comparison of clinical outcome between different surgical techniques was not possible. Post-operative complications were present in 0 –3% of the patients. Although pain improvement was reported in most studies, pain evaluation was patient-based in ,50% (Visual Analogue Scale in only 18%). While QOL was improved in most studies, prospective data were only available for 149 patients. Pregnancy rates were 23–57% with a cumulative pregnancy rate of 58 –70% within 4 years. The overall endometriosis recurrence rate in studies (.2 years follow-up) was 5 –25% with most of the studies reporting 10%. Owing to highly variable study design and data collection, a CONSORT-inspired checklist was developed for future studies.read more

Deep endometriosis: definition, diagnosis, and treatment
TL;DR: Deep endometriosis, defined as adenomyosis externa, is a rarely a progressive and recurrent disease, while bowel resection should be avoided, except for the sigmoid.

TL;DR: In women with deep endometriosis, surgery is the therapy of choice for symptomatic patients when deep lesions do not improve with a medical treatment.

TL;DR: The results suggest that laparoscopic segmental colorectal resection for endometriosis is feasible but carries a risk of major postoperative complications.

Treatment of bowel endometriosis: a report of six cases of colorectal endometriosis and a survey of the literature
TL;DR: From October 1989 to September 1994, the authors performed six intestinal resections for rectal and sigmoidal endometriosis in patients who had successfully been treated with hormones previously, but had relapsed when the treatment was stopped.

A new laparoscopic-transvaginal technique for rectosigmoid resection in patients with endometriosis
TL;DR: Segmental colorectal resection with a combined laparoscopic-transvaginal approach, avoiding the extension of port-site incisions, represents a viable option for the treatment of bowel endometriosis.

The place of GnRH agonists in the treatment of endometriosis and fibroids by advanced endoscopic techniques.
TL;DR: Because most leiomyomata and endometrial cysts return to near pretreatment size within 4 months after cessation of gonadotrophin hormone-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH agonist) therapyl4, these agents cannot be used as definitive medical therapy but must be considered as an adjuvant for the pre-operative reduction of tumour size.

TL;DR: It is suggested that peritoneal red lesions were the most aggressive form of the disease and progress to the so-called typical or black lesion, which must be considered as an enclosed implant surrounded by fibrosis.
