Colorectal involvement occurs in roughly 5%–25% of endometriosis cases and presents unique operative decision-making situations for colorectal surgeons, particularly when choosing among rectal shaving, discoid excision, or segmental resectionfor deep infiltrating disease. This webinar will synthesize recent evidence and multidisciplinary best practices for patient selection, preoperative mapping, and technique selection, with explicit discussion of functional outcomes, including LARS, sexual function, fertility, and quality of life.
Webinar panelists will review contemporary data on complication profiles (e.g., fistula, leak) and risk‑mitigation strategies (e.g., selective diversion, intraoperative assessment, nerve‑sparing) and illustrate decision pathways through operative videos and case panels delivered jointly by colorectal surgery and gynecology.
