Abstract

Objective: Endometriosis is defined as the presence of normal endometrial mucosa abnormally implanted in locations other than the uterine cavity. It is most commonly located in the pelvis but it is also rarely observed in the gastrointestinal tract, lung, liver, kidneys, central nervous system and abdominal wall. Abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) commonly occurs following a caesarean section or pelvic surgery. The patients consult the physician mostly with complaints of cyclic abdominal pain and a palpable mass in the abdomen. The basic methods in diagnosing AWE are anamnesis and physical examination but ultrasound, computerized tomography, and sometimes magnetic resonance imaging of the abdomen are also used. Material and Methods: In our study, we retrospectively analyzed 9 patients who underwent surgery at Avcılar State Hospital General Surgery Service between January 2015 and December 2018 with a preliminary diagnosis of AWE and confirmation through pathology results. Results: Median age of the patients was 32 ± 4.66 and median body mass index (BMI) was 24.6 ± 1.15. Every patient except 1 had a history of cesarean section history. One patient was operated because of recurrence. Patients consulted the hospital with complaints of pain during menstruation and abdominal swelling. The start of the complaints was 4.1 years following C-section. Mostly ultrasound was used for imaging. For treatment, they all received en-bloc mass excision and their pathological diagnosis were compliant with endometriosis. Average surgery time was 40 minutes and average endometriosis lesion dimension was 3.4 cm. It was observed that the lesion extended to the anterior abdominal fascia in 6 of the patients, and 2 patients underwent fascia repair with propylene mesh because of the excessive defect size. No postoperative complication occured in any patient and no recurrence is observed. Conclusion: In patients with periodic abdominal pain and swelling on the abdominal wall, AWE could be suspected and early diagnosis can be realized by carefully taking medical history and following physical examination, and appropriate radiological examinations and necessary surgical intervention can be performed. The method of diagnosis and treatment is to remove the lesion through wide excision.

Özet

Giriş ve Amaç: Endometriozis, uterusun dışında başka bir yerde uterus mukozasının bulunmasıdır. En sık pelvis yerleşimli olsa da; nadiren gastrointestinal sistem, akciğer, karaciğer, böbrek, santral sinir sistemi ve karın duvarında da görülmektedir. Karın duvarı endometriozisi (KDE) en sık, geçirilmiş sezeryan veya pelvik cerrahi sonrası oluşmaktadır. Hastalar çoğunlukla siklik karın ağrısı ve karında ele gelen kitle şikayeti ile hekime başvurmaktadır. KDE tanısında anamnez ve fizik muayene temel yöntem olup, ultrason, bilgisayarlı tomografi ve bazen batın manyetik rezonans görüntüleme kullanılmaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamızda Avcılar Devlet Hastanesi Genel Cerrahi Servisinde Ocak 2015 ve Aralık 2018 arasında KDE ön tanısı ile ameliyat edilip patoloji sonuçları ile konfirme edilen 9 hastayı retrospektif olarak inceledik. Bulgular: Hastaların ortalama yaşı: 32, ortalama vücut kütle endeksi: 24,6 idi. 1 hasta hariç diğer tüm hastaların en az bir kez sezeryan öyküsü vardı. 1 hasta nüks nedenli ameliyat edildi. Hastalar menstruasyon döneminde olan ağrı ve karında şişlik şikayeti ile başvurdu. Şikayetlerin başlama süresi ortalama sezeryandan 4,1 yıl sonra idi. Görüntülemede çoğunlukla ultrason kullanılmıştı. Tedavi olarak tüm hastalara kütle eksizyonu yapıldı; patolojik tanıları endometriozis ile uyumlu idi. Ortalama operasyon zamanı 40 dakika olup endometriozis lezyon boyutu ortalama 3,4 cm idi. Hastaların altısında lezyonun batın ön duvar fasyasına uzanım gösterdiği görüldü, 2 hastaya defekt büyüklüğü fazla olduğu için prolen meş ile fasya tamir işlemi yapıldı. Hiç bir hastada post-operatif komplikasyon izlenmedi, takiplerinde nüks görülmedi. Sonuç: Dönemsel karın ağrısı ve karın duvarında şişlik olan hastalarda KDE den şüphelenilip , dikkatli bir anamnez ve fizik muayene ve uygun radyolojik tetkikler ile erken tanı konulup gerekli cerrahi müdahale yapılabilir. Tanı ve tedavisinde yöntem lezyonun geniş eksizyonla çıkarılmasıdır.
