This paper reports three clinical case experiences of subileus (small-bowel obstruction/obstructive ileus) attributed to intestinal endometriosis, describing the presentation and diagnosis in each case. The authors frame their observations in the context of prior case reports and a literature survey on bowel endometriosis, emphasizing that endometriosis can involve the intestine and lead to obstruction. A major limitation is that the evidence is based on only three cases without a comparative cohort or systematic diagnostic/therapeutic evaluation. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically intestinal endometriosis causing subileus/small-bowel obstruction.
