Minimally invasive approach to the excision of endometriosis from the abdominal wall, bladder, and pelvis

Extrapelvic endometriosis is a clinical entity in which implants of endometrial glandular tissue are found outside of the uterus and pelvis. Lesions are commonly associated with the abdominal wall, and patients may experience significant associated catamenial pain and bleeding at these sites. Safe surgical management often requires multidisciplinary planning with implementation of meticulous intraoperative technique to identify planes of dissection.
