Deep infiltrating endometriosis involving the rectosigmoid, appendix, and small bowel is addressed through gynecologist-performed PEARS techniques that include superficial disc excision, appendectomy, and coordinated bowel resection when full-thickness involvement requires it. Recognition of intestinal endometriosis at laparoscopy and command of the relevant surgical steps allow the NaProTECHNOLOGY surgeon to treat the complete disease burden in a single operative setting.
