⚙ AI-generated deep summary by claude@2026-06, 2026-06-07 ⓘ

The provided text does not include the paper’s abstract, methods, results, or discussion—only journal metadata and general webpage elements—so the study’s population, approach, and key findings cannot be determined. No limitations explicitly stated in the paper are available in the excerpt. Because the content is missing, a substantive summary of what the paper found is not possible from the information supplied. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically, colon resection as a treatment for endometriosis, based on its title, though the excerpt lacks the study details.

Abstract

Endometriosis affects the women during reproductive period and can cause functional disorders. Sometimes general surgical intervention is necessary because of disease boundary. Especially the sigmoid colon and rectum are affected due to the close neighboring. In such a case, treatment must be individualized according to the patient and symptoms. If the lesion has penetrated the entire bowel wall, bowel resection may be inevitable. Laparoscopic resection of the sigmoid colon or rectum can be performed safely in this situation. When laparoscopic resection cannot be possible because of technical difficulties, open resection may be performed for treatment. Here we present two cases, one open and one laparoscopic colon resection performed due to endometriosis.
