Abstract EN
Background.
Laparoscopic bowel resections for endometriosis are safe and effective but only short-term follow-up has been evaluated.
In the present study long-term outcome in terms of intestinal and urinary function, fertility, chronic pain, and recurrence was assessed.
Materials and Methods.
From January 2002 to December 2010 nine hundred patients underwent laparoscopic bowel resection for endometriosis, and on 774 (86%) a questionnaire was administered.
Patients were divided into 3 groups on the strength of the operation date.
Postoperative diarrhea, constipation, rectal bleeding, tenesmus, dyschezia, dysuria, dyspareunia, fertility, and recurrence of disease were assessed.
Results.
The median follow-up was 54 months (range 1–120).
All the evaluated symptoms significantly improved over time, with P=0.0001 for dyspareunia, constipation, and pelvic pain and P=0.004 for diarrhea.
Nonsignificant improvement was reported for dysuria and rectal bleeding (with P=0.452 and P=0.097, resp.).
Conclusions.
The present results confirm that bowel resections for endometriosis are correlated with an acceptable complication rate even at long-term follow-up and that symptoms significantly improve over time, except for rectal bleeding and dysuria, the latter associated with a neurological damage.
