Abstract
Endometriosis is defined as the presence of functional endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. Surgery remains the best long-term treatment for deep infiltrating endometriosis affecting the bowel. Nowadays, robotic technology and telemanipulation systems represent the latest developments in minimally invasive surgery and can be succesfully employed for endometiosis- related procedures.
