Abstract

We report two cases of endometriosis in caesarean section scars. This is a condition, which, in our experience, follows approximately one caesarean section in every thousand. With increasing rates of caesarean section this potentially troublesome condition may be seen more frequently, and we propose a modification in practise to reduce its incidence.
