This case report describes endometriosis on the posterior uterine surface discovered during cesarean section in two consecutive patients: a primigravida and a primipara. The authors report these intraoperative findings to highlight the use of Depo-Provera (depot medroxy progesterone) administered as a three-month injectable progesterone during the immediate postpartum period, with the stated aim of avoiding complications that could arise from nearby endometriotic deposits during the puerperium and afterward. The paper is limited by its small number of cases and its anecdotal design, without systematic comparison or outcome measurement. This paper is centrally about endometriosis—cesarean-section discovery of posterior uterine surface endometriosis and postpartum discussion of Depo-Provera in relation to endometriotic deposits.

Abstract

Two cases of posterior uterine surface endometriosis were found at caesarean section in primigarvida and primipara consecutively. These cases are reported to convey the importance of Depo-Provera (depot medroxy progesterone), a three monthly injectable progesterone during the immediate post partum period to avoid the complication that may arise from the surrounding endometriotic deposits during the puerperium and afterwards.
