Abstract

Bowel endometriosis involving the rectosigmoid, appendix, and small intestine requires specialized resection and repair techniques that fall within the competency of a general surgeon collaborating with the NaProTECHNOLOGY surgical team. Addressing bowel involvement is essential to achieving complete excision of endometriotic disease, which underpins the PEARS philosophy of restoring normal pelvic anatomy and maximizing reproductive potential.
