New approaches in bloom: four-petal adenomyomectomy technique

Adenomyosis is defined as ectopic endometrial glands within the myometrial layers of the uterus. Two main theories regarding the natural history of adenomyosis predominate: invagination of the endometrial basilis into the endometrial-myometrial interface secondary to repeated injury and repair, and metaplasia of displaced embryonic pluripotent m üllerian remnants (1). Adenomyosis can present as endometrial glands scattered throughout the myometrium or as a focal collection of endometrial glands, termed an adenomyoma.
