This 2016 thesis by Jean-Marie Wenger proposes a standardized framework for the diagnosis and surgical management of deep endometriosis involving the colorectal region, covering steps from clinical evaluation through operative procedure. At a high level, it is a proposal rather than an empirical study, outlining how care could be standardized for this specific deep infiltrating phenotype. The key caveat is that the work is presented as a standardization proposal, with no indication in the provided text of outcome data validating the proposed approach. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically deep infiltrating endometriosis with colorectal involvement and the standardization of diagnostic-to-surgical pathways.

Abstract

Deep infiltrating endometriosis with colorectal involvement is a complex and challenging disease characterized by a long delay in diagnosis, debated preoperative work-up, and controversial and difficult surgical treatment. The literature is inconsistent regarding disease definition, clinical research criteria, and outcomes, which leads to inconclusive scientific debate characterized by misconceptions. Clinical consequences result from delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis, unnecessary investigations, and incomplete and inadequate treatments that lead to psychological and physical sequelae for patients. The aim of this work was to review the literature to propose standardization for the clinical and instrumental diagnosis and surgical treatment of deep infiltrating endometriosis with bowel implants.
