This case report describes the successful application of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) to treat rectal endometriosis in a postmenopausal woman, a demographic where such deep infiltrating lesions are less common. The authors detail the procedural steps and outcomes, highlighting ESD as a viable minimally invasive option for managing gastrointestinal involvement of endometriosis when surgical resection is not immediately required. The paper explicitly focuses on this specific clinical presentation, demonstrating that ESD can effectively remove rectal endometrial implants without the need for more extensive bowel surgery. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the management of deep infiltrating endometriosis affecting the rectum in a postmenopausal patient.
