This chapter defines endometriosis as the presence of functional endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity and focuses on minimally invasive surgical options for deep infiltrating endometriosis affecting the bowel. It describes that robotic technology and telemanipulation systems are current developments that can be used for endometriosis-related bowel procedures, noting that surgery remains the best long-term treatment for deep infiltrating bowel disease. A key limitation is that the chapter is presented as a techniques overview rather than providing new patient-level outcomes for its own cohort. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically discusses minimally invasive (including robotic) rectal/bowel surgical procedures for deep infiltrating endometriosis.

Abstract

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of functional endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. Surgery remains the best long-term treatment for deep infiltrating endometriosis affecting the bowel. Nowadays, robotic technology and telemanipulation systems represent the latest developments in minimally invasive surgery and can be succesfully employed for endometiosis- related procedures.
