Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To report the technique and outcome of laparoscopy in endometriosis using indigo carmine.
DESIGN: Case report.
SETTING: Tertiary 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.
