Intestinal endometriosis: role of laparoscopy in diagnosis and treatment
No full textEndometriosis is a disease in women in which endometrial tissue is found in abnormal
sites, frequently in the peritoneum and pelvic viscera. Endometriosis may therefore affect
the genital organs, particularly the left ovary, or it may occur elsewhere in the abdomen,
principally the digestive tract in the sigmoid-rectum. The difficulty of prompt diagnosis
of nongenital endometriotic lesions, whose symptoms are usually nonspecific, and the
inadequacy of traditional diagnostic approaches mean the disease has time to progress. A
case report is used here to show the use of laparoscopy with immediate histological
examination for the prompt diagnosis and intraoperative treatment of intestinal endometriosis.
For patients with extragenital endometriosis, laparoscopic resection offers immediate
postoperative advantages but also gives gradual relief of symptoms and in some
cases improves reproductive capacity; there is also less formation of adhesions in this
disease, which by definition tends to cause them, often making a second look indispensable
