What is this trial about?

The purpose of this study is to determine whether performing colorectal resection in deep endometriosis infiltrating the rectum is responsible for a higher rate of postoperative digestive and urinary dysfunction when compared to rectal nodules excision (conservation of the rectum).

What are the participation requirements?

Inclusion Criteria

* female

* age >18 and <45

* at least one digestive symptom related to deep endometriosis (pain defecation, either cyclic diarrhea or cyclic constipation, cyclic rectorrhagia)

* preoperative work up revealing a deep endometriosis nodule infiltrating the rectum (either muscular or submucosal layer, on less than 50% of rectal circumference) and measuring at least 20 mm

* affiliation to the National Social Security System

Exclusion Criteria

* pregnant women or likely to be at the moment of the surgery

* no preoperative hypothesis of rectal involvement

* no intraoperative confirmation of the rectal involvement

* advanced rectal endometriosis involving rectal mucosa or more than 50% of the rectal circumference (preoperative assessment using rectal endoscopy or ultrasonography)

* women unable to give an informed consent (guardianship or trusteeship)
