STUDY OBJECTIVE: To highlight different surgical approaches for managing deep infiltrating endometriosis involving the rectosigmoid colon. DESIGN: Demonstration of specific surgical techniques with educational narrated video footage. SETT…

OBJECTIVE: Endosalpingiosis is a poorly understood condition of ectopic epithelium resembling the fallopian tubes. It has been described as an incidental pathology finding, a disease similar to endometriosis, and in association with maligna…

PurposeTo evaluate the feasibility and safety of percutaneous image-guided cryoablation of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE).Materials and methodsA retrospective review of percutaneous cryoablation (CT or MR) of AWE was performed from Janu…

PurposeThe aim of the study was to quantify the value of pre-operative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in guiding surgical management of women with endometriosis.MethodsPre-operative discussion of patient management and review of imaging o…

Abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) is a rare form of endometriosis that often results in substantial pain and debility. The current treatment algorithm for AWE is not well established. The purpose of this review is to describe the Mayo Clin…
