Core Tip	Multidisciplinary laparoscopic treatment of extensive endometriosis with bowel involvement has become the standard of care. Depending on the size of the bowel lesion and site of bowel involvement, full-thickness disc excision or bowel resection needs to be performed by an experienced colorectal surgeon. This narrative review discusses in depth the role of a colorectal surgeon in a multidisciplinary team treating bowel endometriosis. From clinical and diagnostic work-up to surgical treatment for different colorectal localizations of endometriosis, each issue is addressed. Furthermore, postoperative outcomes, regarding symptom control, recurrence, and fertility, are discussed.
