[Stenosis of the sigmoid due to endometriosis (author's transl)]. 1976

K Lehmann, and A Krug

The diagnosis and treatment of the rare stenosis of the sigmoid due to an attack of endometriosis is discussed in relation to 5 cases. Particular attention must be paid to the lack of involvement of the intestinal mucosa at the preliminary examination. The problems of definitive diagnosis arising from this, which can usually only be discovered by laparotomy, are gone into. Surgical treatment, in the form of a resection to maintain continuity is the appropriate and optimal therapy for this disease. But extensive mutilating operations on establishment of an endometriotic stenosis are not justified.
