Assessment of education and management of endometriosis among colorectal surgery residents

Nearly 20% of women with endometriosis are diagnosed with deep infiltrating disease and among those, 5-12% have bowel or rectovaginal involvement. Gynecologic and colorectal surgeons highly trained in endometriosis resection are important to maximize adequate resection and minimize complications. Prior data suggests that endometriosis-focused surgical training for colorectal surgeons can be optimized.
