This literature review describes diaphragmatic endometriosis, a prevalent extra-pelvic manifestation of the disease, and concludes that videolaparoscopic surgery is the optimal treatment due to faster recovery and fewer complications.

This paper is a narrative literature review addressing diaphragmatic endometriosis and the surgical description of minimally invasive (video) laparoscopy for thoracic endometriosis, including related manifestations such as catamenial pneumothorax and pleural effusion/hemothorax. It discusses high-level diagnostic approaches (pelvic/transvaginal ultrasound with bowel preparation and MRI with specialized protocols) and summarizes historical reports of thoracic and catamenial pneumothorax cases. The authors conclude that surgical treatment is the only curative option and argue that minimally invasive access should be preferred over laparotomy due to lower risks, better healing, and faster rehabilitation, while also noting the need for a multidisciplinary approach; however, the main caveat is that the study is based on literature review rather than original clinical data. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically diaphragmatic (thoracic) endometriosis and video-laparoscopic surgical treatment.

Abstract

Introdução: O acometimento torácico responde pela apresentação extra pélvica mais prevalente da endometriose, sendo o diafragma a região de maior comprometimento da doença. Uma variedade de sintomas é citada na literatura, sendo o fator catamenial o principal achado diferencial dessas manifestações. Objetivo: O objetivo desse artigo é descrever o impacto social da endometriose diafragmática na vida das pacientes e discorrer acerca da descrição da cirurgia de endometriose. Metodologia: O presente estudo fundamenta-se na revisão de literatura baseada em artigos selecionados pelos critérios de relevância e atualidade inseridos em banco de dados científicos. Resultados: O primeiro relato de endometriose envolvendo o parênquima pulmonar foi descrito em 1938 por Schwarz, enquanto em 1958 houve o primeiro relato de pneumotórax catamenial feito por Maurer et al. A ultrassonografia pélvica e transvaginal com preparo intestinal e a ressonância magnética (RM) com protocolos especializados são os principais métodos de imagem para detecção e estadiamento da endometriose. Conclusão: O tratamento cirúrgico é o único método curativo e a via minimamente invasiva deve ser a de escolha tendo em vista os menores riscos de contaminação, a melhor cicatrização e a reabilitação completa do paciente em um período inferior caso fosse realizada a laparotomia. Vale salientar que o paciente precisa de uma abordagem multidisciplinar visando uma completa recuperação e o retorno mais brevemente possível às atividades diárias.

Introduction

Thoracic involvement accounts for the most prevalent extrapelvic presentation of endometriosis, with the diaphragm being the region most affected by the disease. A variety of symptoms are cited in the literature, with the catamenial factor being the main differential finding of these manifestations. Objective: The purpose of this article is to describe the social impact of diaphragmatic endometriosis on the lives of patients and to discuss the description of endometriosis surgery. Methodology: The present study is based on a literature review based on articles selected by the criteria of relevance and up-to-dateness inserted in a scientific database. Results: The first report of endometriosis involving the lung parenchyma was described in 1938 by Schwarz, while in 1958 there was the first report of catamenial pneumothorax by Maurer et al. Pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound with bowel preparation and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with specialized protocols are the main imaging methods for detecting and staging endometriosis. Conclusion: Surgical treatment is the only curative method, and the minimally invasive route should be the choice given the lower risks of contamination, better healing, and complete rehabilitation of the patient in a shorter period if laparotomy were performed. It is worth noting that the patient needs a multidisciplinary approach aiming at a complete recovery and the return to daily activities as soon as possible.
