This paper discusses the management challenges of severe extragenital endometriosis by presenting a case report of a complicated course involving bowel endometriosis with endometriosis of the rectovaginal septum and the cul-de-sac. It describes associated symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and intestinal complaints including cycle-related constipation, rectal bleeding, and painful defecation, and focuses on surgical treatment considerations for this scenario. The major limitation is that conclusions are drawn from a single complicated case rather than a larger systematic study. Relevance to endometriosis: it directly centers on rectovaginal septum endometriosis with bowel involvement and discusses surgical treatment strategies for the complicated course.

Abstract

Zu den schwersten Formen der extragenitalen Endometriose gehört die Endometriose des Septum rectovaginale mit Darmbeteiligung. Eine Endometriose des Darms verursacht für die betroffenen Patientinnen deutliche Beschwerden. Neben einer Dysmenorrhö und Dyspareunie treten intestinale Symptome wie zyklusabhängige Obstipation, Darmblutungen oder eine schmerzhafte Defäkation auf. Anhand eines komplikativen Verlaufs wird die Problematik der chirurgischen Sanierung besprochen. Die chirurgische Therapie der Endometriose des Septum rectovaginale und des Douglas sollte in spezialisierten Zentren mit der Möglichkeit einer tiefen anterioren Darmresektion unter Uteruserhaltung durchgeführt werden, um Komplikationen zu vermeiden.

Abstract Endometriosis of the bowel and cul-de-sac is rare, but difficult to treat. It is the cause of severe trouble to affected patients. In addition to dysmenorrhoea and dyspareunia intestinal symptoms like menstruation-correlated obstipation, painful defaecation and rectal bleeding may occur. On the basis of a case report of a complicated course the problem of surgical treatment will be discussed. Operative treatment should be done in specialised centres with experience in bowel surgery, especially in deep anterior rectal resection, to avoid complications.
