Untersuchung zur Sexualität und Beckenbodenfunktion bei Patientinnen mit rektovaginaler Endometriose vor und nach einer operativen Rektumteilresektion
This pilot study evaluated women with rectovaginal endometriosis undergoing rectal resection, finding significant pain reduction but also frequent bladder and bowel dysfunction due to nerve damage, while standardized questionnaires proved more useful than pelvic floor measurements.

This pilot study evaluated the impact of surgical bowel resection on pain, pelvic floor function, and sexuality in eleven patients with deep infiltrating rectovaginal endometriosis. Preoperative assessments revealed widespread dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and bowel or bladder symptoms, which showed significant improvement in pain levels and sexual comfort following the operation. However, follow-up data indicated that while defecation issues decreased, bladder function worsened in most cases due to potential nerve damage, and pain symptoms recurred in a majority of patients over twelve months. The researchers noted that their method for objectively measuring pelvic floor function was insufficient and failed to correlate with subjective symptom reports. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the surgical management and postoperative outcomes associated with deep infiltrating rectovaginal lesions.
