Abstract: Deeply infiltrating endometriosis(DIE) is the most serious type of endometriosis (EMs). It related with intestinal dysfunction, such as cyclical defecation pain and hematochezia, intestinal cramping, diarrhea, bloating, even intestinal stenosis, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. Yet these symptoms are often omitted in current clinical practice. Surgery is still the first choice for symptomatic patients. However, the improvement of intestinal symptoms after surgery and postoperative intestinal dysfunction are not clear. There are many factors affecting the recovery of intestinal function. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate intestinal function in detail by various methods and formulate treatment regimen by multidisciplinary cooperation, then further explore possible ways to improve intestinal function. Ultimately, we hope to improve the symptoms and promote the comprehensive recovery of patients.
