RA of Endometriosis

Resection Anastomosis of Bowel Endometriosis

Bowel endometriosis is a severe and often debilitating form of endometriosis, where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows into the walls of the intestines—commonly affecting the rectum and sigmoid colon. This can lead to a range of distressing symptoms, including pelvic pain, painful bowel movements, bloating, constipation, rectal bleeding during periods, and infertility. When these lesions invade the bowel wall deeply and medical treatment is surgical intervention becomes necessary. Resection anastomosis is the preferred surgical method, involving the removal of the affected bowel segment followed by reconnection (anastomosis) of the healthy ends to restore normal digestive function.

This procedure demands a high level of surgical expertise, as it involves operating near delicate pelvic structures such as nerves, blood vessels, and reproductive organs. A minimally invasive approach, such as laparoscopy, is often used to perform the surgery with greater precision and reduced trauma to surrounding tissues. The benefits of such an approach include smaller incisions, less postoperative pain, quicker recovery, and minimal scarring. In experienced hands, this method ensures accurate removal of endometriotic tissue while preserving bowel and reproductive function, which is essential for improving both symptom control and fertility outcomes.
