AB032. SOH23ABS_019. Conservative surgery versus colorectal resection for endometrial deposits: a systematic review and meta-analysis of surgical and long-term outcomes

Background: The optimal surgical management of colorectal endometriosis is unclear. Conservative surgery by shaving or discoid excision of colorectal deposits facilitates organ preservation but is associated with an increased risk of recurrence. Formal colorectal resection is associated with higher rates of complications but may be associated with lower recurrence rates. This meta-analysis compares perioperative and long-term outcomes between conservative surgery (shaving or discoid excision) and formal colorectal resection.
