Abstract Aim The aim of this work was to evaluate the prevalence low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) and its long‐term evolution following colorectal segmental for deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) identify any associated risk factors. Method A retrospective observational study conducted on 124 patients who underwent bowel DIE between 2008 2023 at a single tertiary centre. Postoperative rectal function assessed using LARS score, logistic regression analysis performed independent factors minor/major LARS. Results observed in 5.6% patients, with 1.6% presenting minor 4.0% major Logistic identified parametrial (odds ratio = 6.2, p 0.04) as an factor severity remained stable all cases over mean follow‐up 6.9 ± 3.7 years. Conclusion As previously reported studies, our data highlight relatively surgery time. Identifying underlines critical need recognize specific aspect surgery, ensuring that it is thoroughly addressed during surgical planning integrated into patient counselling proper outcomes expectations. Prospective studies are needed confirm these findings, explore additional better understand influencing population.
