Endometriosis in the Surgical Scar Tissue after Caesarean Section - Abstract
Presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus is defined as endometriosis, which is common in the fertile women (1,2). Pelvic operations such as abdominal hysterectomy and caesarean section may result with endometriosis in the scar tissue (1). This condition is commonly an under-appreciated or misdiagnosed phenomenon in general surgery (1). Here, we present three cases with endometriosis in the surgical scar tissue after caesarean section. In all three cases, patients were presented with a painful mass. These three patients denied any systemic and/or gynecological symptoms. All cases were treated with excision and their postoperative course was uneventful.
