Abstract
ObjectiveTo report the technique and outcome of laparoscopy in endometriosis using indigo carmine.DesignCase report.SettingTertiary care center.Patient(s)Twenty-nine-year-old nulligravid woman with a history of endometriosis and left unicornuate uterus with an absent right horn with a present right ovary and distal fallopian tube with recurrence of disease.Intervention(s)Operative laparoscopy for destruction of endometriosis and chromopertubation, given the patient's history of infertility.Main outcome measure(s)Identification of endometriosis.Result(s)Lesions of endometriosis were stained with indigo carmine and were easily identified.Conclusion(s)Tissue staining demonstrated lesions of endometriosis that were more easily identified; therefore, this technique could provide a special and unique approach to a more accurate diagnosis of endometriosis.
