Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Several studies investigated the reproductive outcomes after surgical treatment of colorectal endometriosis, mainly segmental colorectal resection. Little information is available on the spontaneous fertility of patients with bowel endometriosis. This study aims to evaluate the fertility of patients affected by rectosigmoid endometriosis who did not undergo previous surgical treatment.
