Rectosigmoid Endometriosis Causing Large Bowel Obstruction
Rectosigmoid endometriosis is a rare cause of large bowel obstruction in premenopausal women, often presenting diagnostic challenges and requiring surgical resection.

This article describes rectosigmoid endometriosis presenting as large bowel obstruction, a scenario the authors note is rare compared with more common causes such as colorectal carcinoma, diverticular disease, or volvulus. It emphasizes that in premenopausal women, large bowel endometriosis can be difficult to confirm preoperatively, and that clinicians may need to consider it when evaluating bowel obstruction. The paper states that complete surgical resection of the involved bowel may be required to eliminate local recurrence risk. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on rectosigmoid endometriosis causing large bowel obstruction.
