One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works
Abstract
Endometrosis is presence of functioning endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity.Endometriosis can sometimes occur on a previous surgical scar.Occurrence of scar endometriosis is rare and difficult to diagnose.It mostly follows obstetrical and gynaecological surgeries.This condition is often confused with surgical condition.In this case series we are enlisting four such cases of scar endometriosis following caesarean section.Initially medical treatment was tried on the all four cases but, it did not give any relief to the patients.All the four patients required surgical excision and on two of them mesh repair of rectus sheath was done along with wide excision.
