This case report describes a 31-year-old woman who developed unilateral endometriosis at the site of ovarian implantation following an Estes procedure, which involved creating a utine window. The authors note that this iatrogenic complication closely resembles experimental endometriosis induced in rhesus monkeys through intraabdominal menstruation. By documenting this direct link between surgical manipulation and lesion formation, the paper provides clinical substantiation for the Sampson hypothesis regarding the mechanism of endometriosis development. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically illustrating iatrogenic causes related to surgical procedures.

Abstract

A 31-year-old woman developed unilateral endometriosis at the site of ovarian implantation to a uterine window. This complication of the Estes procedure resembles the experimental endometriosis induced in rhesus monkeys by causing intraabdominal menstruation. This adds support to the Sampson hypothesis of endometriosis development.
