Intraoperative Proctosigmoidoscopy Following Bowel Endometriosis Surgery: A Retrospective Evaluation

The authors aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of intraoperative proctosigmoidoscopy in enhancing surgical outcomes for patients undergoing bowel endometriosis surgery. Their retrospective study of 26 patients revealed that this technique can identify complications such as bleeding and leaks at the anastomosis site, potentially improving intraoperative decision-making and reducing complications. Overall, the findings suggest that intraoperative proctosigmoidoscopy is a valuable adjunct in these surgical procedures.
