OBJECTIVE: To describe the management of recurrent bowel endometriosis after previous colorectal resection.

DESIGN: Surgical video article. The local institutional board review was omitted due to the narration of surgical management. Patient consent was obtained.

SETTING: A tertiary referral center. The patient first underwent segmental bowel resection for deep infiltrating endometriosis of the rectum in the ENDORE randomized controlled trial in 2012 and then received a total hysterectomy in 2018. Five years later, she presented with recurrent nodules in the rectovaginal, left parametrium, and abdominal wall after discontinuing medical suppressive treatment.

INTERVENTION: Laparoscopic management using robotic assistance was employed to complete excision of the rectovaginal nodule. Disc excision was performed to remove rectal infiltration. The procedure started with rectal shaving and excision of vaginal infiltration . A traction stitch was placed over the limits of the rectal shaving area. The general surgeon placed a 28 mm circular anal stapler transanally and performed complete excision of the shaved rectal area. Anastomotic perfusion was checked with indocyanine green. A methylene blue enema test was conducted to rule out anastomotic leakage. Outcomes were favorable, with systematic self-catheterization during 5 postoperative weeks. No specific symptoms were related to the other 2 nodules, which were not removed.

CONCLUSION: Rectal recurrences may occur long after colorectal resection and outside the limits of the previous surgery site. To accurately assess this risk, long-term follow-up of patients is mandatory.. Postoperative medical amenorrhea may play a role in recurrence prevention. Surgical management of recurrences may be challenging and focus on only those nodules responsible for symptoms so as to best preserve the organ's function and reduce postoperative morbidity.
