Bowel function and quality of life following surgery for deep endometriosis

CONCLUSION: Women who underwent surgery for deep endometriosis rated their overall QoL as lower when a complication occurred. Segmental resection resulted in a lower sexual QoL compared to shaving. We showed that a higher LARS-score correlates with a lower sexual QOL, and postoperative constipation with more pain and a lower overall and sexual QoL. Interestingly, after using the shaving technique one-third of the patients experienced LARS-like symptoms as well.PMID:34309498 | DOI:10.1080/0167482X.2021.1952570
