Episiotomy scar endometriosis

Journal Title: Medical Journal Armed Forces - Year 2018, Vol 74, Issue 3

Abstract

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine endometrial cavity. It is a benign, chronic, and estrogen-dependent disorder. It generally occurs in pelvic sites such as ovaries, posterior culde-sac, pelvic peritoneum, bowel, and rectovaginal septum. Extrapelvic endometriosis has been described in various sites such as nervous system, thorax, urinary tract, gastrointestinal tract and in cutaneous tissues. Endometriosis at scar site can be found after cesarean, hysterectomy, amniocentesis, laparoscopic trocar tract, or perineal episiotomy.1
