This retrospective cohort analyzed medical records of 50 women who underwent segmental colorectal resection for deep infiltrating intestinal endometriosis across Catholic University institutions, assessing perioperative morbidity using the Extended Clavien–Dindo classification and long-term bowel, voiding, and sexual morbidity with specific questionnaires. The overall complication rate was 44%, with 38% early and 6% late complications, and long-term functional postoperative complications occurred in 30% for intestinal, 50% for urinary, and 64% for sexual domains after a median follow-up of 55.5 months. The authors note that bowel and bladder complications appeared acceptable and often reversible, whereas sexual dysfunctions such as anorgasmia and insufficient vaginal lubrication persisted over time, and the main limitation is reliance on retrospective chart data. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — evaluating surgery-related complications and long-term functional morbidity after segmental colo-rectal resection for deep infiltrating endometriosis.
