About

Endometriosis is a disease that is very present on the current media scene. Its symptoms are very nonspecific and numerous. (dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, dyschezia, urinary functional signs, infertility, chronic pelvic pain, etc.) Its prevalence is estimated at 10% of women and 20% of them have deep pelvic endometriosis. Colorectal lesions involving the rectosigmoid junction and the rectum represent the most severe forms and affect 5.3 to 12% of patients with deep pelvic endometriosis. Endometriosis is found in 20 to 50% of patients consulting for infertility and the rate of spontaneous pregnancy in patients with deep endometriosis is estimated to be between 8.7 and 13%. Surgery appears to improve fertility in women. However, several surgical techniques for deep endometriosis at the digestive level have been described, conservative or radical, without any having demonstrated its superiority both in terms of symptoms and fertility.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of different surgical technics (shaving vs. bowel resection) on post-operative fertility among patients with bowel deep infiltrating endometriosis and the pregnancy outcome
