This took place in Clínica del Prados gynaecological endoscopy unit and in Profamilia in Medellín between September 2007 and February 2008. Minimally invasive treatment was undertaken with one-year follow-up. The following variables were evaluated: sociodemographic data, painful symptoms, anatomicallocalizationofdeepinfiltrating endometriosis, lesion characteristics, surgical treatment, surgical time and complications. Results: colonic lesion was the only complication reported in this series (4.1%). There was a statistically significant reduction in painful symptoms. Three patients (12%) suffered recurrences during the year-long follow-up. Conclusions: laparoscopic treatment of deep infiltrating endometriosis is an option which alleviates the painful symptoms of endometriosis.
