title: Colorectal endometriosis: aggressive surgical management and practical considerations in a patient with advanced disease.
abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of bowel resection in a patient with obstructive colorectal endometriosis. The presentation will acquaint the physician with the signs and symptoms, evaluation, and surgical treatment of colorectal endometriosis. We emphasize that our findings strongly support an aggressive surgical approach with resection for all visible cases of colorectal endometriosis in women with advanced disease.
