46 yr. old G1P1, in mid 2004 underwent uneventful LSH for symptomatic adenomyosis. About 6 months postop, developed inflammation and purulence in base of moderately deep umbilicus. Incision intact. Rxd with H202, and antibiotics. 3 months later same sx recurred, Rx'd as before . Had her seen by general surgeon ( concerned re: ? stitch abscess). Suggested revision if one more recurrence. This did occur, revision performed in October. Path: endometriosis!

I have never seen endo in an umbilical trocar incision. The uterus was removed via a LLQ incision through a morcellator. At time of LSH, no pelvic/ abdominal endometriosis seen.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
