This paper reports four clinical cases of incisional endometriosis, describing presentation and clinical context associated with endometriosis occurring at surgical incision sites. Across the cases, the authors document diagnostic and management details at the individual-patient level, aiming to characterize this uncommon location of disease. A key limitation is that, as a case series, it provides descriptive observations without a comparative study design or broader generalizability. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses specifically on incisional endometriosis at surgical sites.

Abstract

Summary The presence of functioning endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity is defined as endometriosis. Its incidence is approximately 10-15% of women of fertile age. Incisional endometriosis following obstetric or gynecologic surgery is reported in 0.03-1.08% of women. Most of the cases reported in the literature are related to caesarean section and have required a differential diagnosis with a hernia, abscess, granuloma or lipoma. The diagnosis is based on histological findings. We describe incisional endometriosis in four patients operated on at St. Marina Hospital – Pleven for one year.
