Endometriosis in abdominal scars - review of 27 cases
Abstract
Twenty-seven cases of endometriosis in abdominal scars seen over a 10-year period have been reviewed. Multiparous women within the age group of 25-35 years were affected more frequently. Hysterotomy for termination of midterm pregnancy was the most common surgical procedure done prior to the occurrence of scar endometriosis. Associated pelvic endometriosis was present in 25.9% of the cases. Treatment of choice is complete surgical excision. Progestogen therapy appears to be less effective. Good technique and proper care during surgery may help in preventing this complication.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
