Two surgical approaches are employed in the treatment of deep infiltrating endometriosis of the rectum (DIER): colorectal resection and nodule excision. In 2009, we introduced a new technique for transanal full thickness disc excision of endometriotic nodules infiltrating the low and middle rectum, using the Contour® Transtar™ stapler (Ethicon Endo-Surgery inc., Cincinnati, OH, USA). The aim of this retrospective study was to describe the technique and to present data on the feasibility of this technique.
