This paper describes a low anterior resection of the rectum with mechanical anastomosis performed for sigmoid-rectal endometriosis due to a mass that could not be separated from the intestinal wall without risk of perforation.

Abstract

A case of sigmoid-rectal endometriosis prompted the authors to focus attention on the question of indications for surgery and operative tactics in intestinal endometriosis. In this case, the presence of a pelvic mass which could not be cut away from the intestinal wall without the risk of perforation led to the performance of a low anterior resection of the rectum with mechanical stapler, a choice which was certainly radical but necessary in view of the impossibility of excluding the malignant nature of the mass either macroscopically or extemporaneously.
