This historical study analyzed 1,631 clinical records from private patients between 1945 and 1953 to determine the incidence of histologically confirmed endometriosis. The author identified ten cases among 171 abdominal surgeries, calculating an overall prevalence of 0.6% in the patient population and 5.8% among those undergoing laparotomy. The paper hypothesizes that racial factors and prolonged contraceptive use may influence the etiology of the disease, while explicitly noting that these findings require validation through broader statistics from other gynecologists. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically focusing on its epidemiological incidence and potential risk factors within a specific regional medical context.

Abstract

1º Revisando 1.631 historias clínicas de enfermas privadas (1945-1953) se encuentran 10 casos de endometriosis con comprobación histológica, so­bre un total de 171 operaciones abdominales. 2º Esto constituye el 0.6% del total de enfermas y el 5.8% de las some­tidas a laparotomía. 3º Se piensa en la infuencia racial en la etiología de la endometriosis, lo mismo que en el uso prolongado de métodos contraceptivos. 4º Las cifras del autor necesitan la comprobación de estadísticas privadas y hospitalarias de otros ginecólogos del país.
