ENDOMETRIOSE DE APÊNDICE CECAL: ASPECTO MACROSCÓPICO NA LAPAROSCOPIA EM UMA SÉRIE DE CASOS
This case series describes the macroscopic appearance of cecal appendiceal endometriosis during laparoscopy to help surgeons recognize this condition, which affects up to 24% of intestinal endometriosis cases, and prevent undertreatment.

This case series analyzed intraoperative images from 610 patients with intestinal endometriosis to characterize the macroscopic appearance of cecal appendix involvement. The researchers categorized the lesions into four groups based on the extent of disease, ranging from isolated distal tips to global serosal involvement of the appendix and cecum. The study highlights that recognizing these specific visual patterns is critical for surgeons to avoid undertreatment and ensure complete symptom resolution. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the laparoscopic identification and management of deep infiltrating endometriosis affecting the cecal appendix.
