The impact of surgeons ’ specialty on surgical outcomes following colorectal resection for endometriosis

It is estimated that 5-25% of women with endometriosis have colorectal involvement. Surgical management options include shaving, discoid excision, and resection.

Currently, data focusing on surgeons ’ specialty and surgical outcomes are scant.
