The exact incidence of persistent endometriosis after definitive surgery is not known. In addition, the treatment of persistent endometriosis after complete surgical excision is controversial. We report a case of persistent endometriosis with vaginal and sigmoid-colonic invasion after TH with BSO. The lesions were not responsive to hormonal therapy. The patient was managed successfully by therapeutic pelvic radiation.\nSimilar content being viewed by others\nAuthor information\nAuthors and Affiliations\nAdditional information\nReceived: 26 October 2000 / Accepted: 12 December 2000\nRights and permissions\nAbout this article\nCite this article\nKim, KS., Moon, WS., Song, HW. et al.
