Abstract

Bowel endometriosis is one of the most severe forms of endometriosis and accounts for the highest incidence of endometriotic lesions at atypical sites. Although medical therapy is recommended as treatment for rectal endometriosis, surgical therapy is considered in patients with infertility. We report a case of rectal endometriosis with infertility in a patient who underwent laparoscopic rectal low anterior resection that was followed by spontaneous pregnancy.
