Symptomatic internal hernia of the broad ligament: a complication of electrocoagulation therapy of endometriosis.

A 31-year-old nulligravid woman had had two previous laparoscopies for endometriosis. Disease of the right broad ligament was treated by electrocoagulation at the first surgery, but pain persisted despite postoperative danazol therapy. At her second laparoscopy, a large defect of the right broad ligament was noted, but not treated. At her third operation, laparoscopic excision of endometriosis was followed by herniorrhaphy of the right broad ligament through mini-laparotomy. The potential for bowel herniation exists whenever a closed loop is present in the abdominal cavity.

Peritoneal pockets and endometriosis. Confirmation of an important relationship, with further observations.

Of 132 women with endometriosis, almost one-fifth had peritoneal pockets. Two-thirds of the structures had endometriosis either around the rim or inside. Since one-third of the pockets lacked endometriosis and fibrosis was not present as a possible cause, endometriosis does not seem to have been the likely primary cause. Rather, such peritoneal invaginations and endometriosis may be ontologically related to a separate codevelopmental factor.

Is "microscopic" peritoneal endometriosis invisible?

This study fails to uphold the concept of invisible, microscopic endometriosis. Peritoneum devoid of disease exists, can be described, and can be consistently found.

The distribution of endometriosis in the pelvis by age groups and fertility.

In this series of patients, endometriosis does not involve more pelvic areas in older age groups. Exposure to pregnancy is associated with slightly less pelvic involvement, although this effect is inconstant when age groups are studied individually.

Age-related evolution in color appearance of endometriosis.

Endometriosis presents a large variety of color manifestations, most nonblack, and many easily missed unless meticulous inspection is used to identify small or nonhemorrhagic lesions. An evolution in appearance with age may occur, with resultant spurious effects on conclusions regarding the natural history of the disease. This study confirms and expands the concept of nonhemorrhagic appearances presented by Jansen and Russell.
