I read (don't recall where) that all GnRH treatment are palliative and surgery seems to be the best treatment. That's my opinion -- Ricardo Savaris, MD Porto Alegre - Brazil > ----- Original Message ----- From: Braun, R. Daniel To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2002 10:22 AM Subject: endometriosis in C/S scar Patient is 30 ish G 3 P 3003 all cesarean sections. Had tubal at time of last section. Presents with a 2X3X4 cm lump at the right end of her C/S incision. It swells and becomes tender about the time of her period. No other symptoms at all. The question becomes one of "Since she has endo in her incision, does she have a likelihood of intraperitoneal endo, and if so, should we do a diagnostic scope at the time of excision of the scar endometrioma? If we do and we find endometriosis in this asymptomatic patient, what should we do about that? I would like to heart a lot of opinions. We had a bunch in our morning report.
