Experience of the hernia and wall department in the management of abdominal wall endometriosis for 9 years.

Conclusions: Abdominal wall endometriosis is the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue in any layer of the abdominal wall. Patients with this diagnosis are referred to the general surgeon presenting a tumor, however, the preoperative diagnosis rate is erroneous in most cases. Abdominal wall ultrasound is useful in diagnosis; tomography and magnetic resonance determine the extent of the disease. The treatment must be related to the extension of the disease and its recurrence is associated with the presence of positive margins. PMID: 31264985 [PubMed - in process]
