“…It was reported in the literature that laparoscopic segmentary resection and anastomosis following decompression with endoscopic stenting could be performed to avoid stoma in cases presented with AMIO caused by colonic endometriosis. [11,12] In our case, colonoscopy was not performed because the patient had progressing acute abdomen findings.…”

Endometriosis is a disease seen in women at reproductive age, characterized by extrauterine localization of endometrial tissue. Colonic endometriosis rarely causes acute mechanical intestinal obstruction (AMIO). It may also be presented with pelvic pain, dyspareunia, tenesmus, painful defecation related to the menstrual cycle. In the literature, 3-37% of the gastrointestinal location was reported and AMIO was observed in 7-23% of these cases. There are only few cases of mechanical obstruction related to sigmoid endometriosis mimicking colon malignancy. In this study, we aim to report a case of a 40-year-old patient with AMIO developed secondary to colonic endometriosis in light of the literature. The patient was discharged with full surgical recovery after the Hartmann procedure was performed, and the pathological diagnosis was reached as endometriosis. At the post-operative sixth-month colostomy, closure and bilateral oophorectomy were performed with the patient's will. The patient was discharged with surgical recovery and is still being regularly followed up. Endometriosis is a gynecological disease that may occur in all organ systems even though the most common location is the overs. Gastrointestinal located endometriosis should, therefore, be kept in mind in the etiology of AMIO in women at reproductive age and the related symptoms should be questioned in differential diagnosis.

“…The treatment of intestinal endometriosis is, in most cases, surgical, as pending treatments (danazol, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone-analogous agonist) are generally ineffective and reserved for patients who cannot be operated on. The choice of technique to be used depends mainly on the extent and depth of the disease and colorectal endometriosis can be treated by local excision, ablation or bowel resection [ 10 ].…”

“…Some studies indicate that a stent with chemotherapy treatment can extend a patient’s life by up to three months [10,50,51,52]. Another gastrointestinal area where stents are used is the small bowel, or they can be applied for the treatment of colorectal cancer due to intestinal strictures, which are complications of enteral diseases [53,54].…”

Biocompatible Polymer Materials with Antimicrobial Properties for Preparation of Stents

Biodegradable polymers are promising materials for use in medical applications such as stents. Their properties are comparable to commercially available resistant metal and polymeric stents, which have several major problems, such as stent migration and stent clogging due to microbial biofilm. Consequently, conventional stents have to be removed operatively from the patient’s body, which presents a number of complications and can also endanger the patient’s life. Biodegradable stents disintegrate into basic substances that decompose in the human body, and no surgery is required. This review focuses on the specific use of stents in the human body, the problems of microbial biofilm, and possibilities of preventing microbial growth by modifying polymers with antimicrobial agents.
