• MRI analysis of rectal endometriosis, taking into account rectal and pararectal signs, may assist surgeons in the decision-making process, in counselling patients regarding the surgical procedure and in adequately allocating resources. • Among rectal signs, nodular thickness ≥ 14 mm and a circumference ≥ 38% were the most predictive signs of segmental resection. • Among pararectal signs, only the sacro-recto-genital septum involvement was significantly associated with segmental resection.
