Re-do surgery after prosthetic abdominal wall repair: intraoperative findings of mesh-related complications.

Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery·2020

Primary umbilical endometriosis, a rare condition, presents diagnostic challenges. Surgical excision is recommended during the early follicular phase to minimize recurrence risk.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Umbilical endometriosis is a rare extra-uterine manifestation of endometriosis.
  • Distinguishing it from abdominal wall neoplasms can be challenging.
  • It carries a documented risk of neoplastic transformation.

Observation:

  • A case of umbilical endometriosis in a 36-year-old female is presented.
  • Cyclic bleeding and swelling at the umbilicus raised suspicion for endometriosis.
  • Abdominal CT ruled out other endometriotic localizations.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision of the umbilical mass, including surrounding tissues, was performed.
  • Histological examination confirmed endometrial glands and stroma, consistent with endometriosis.
  • Primary closure of the defect was achieved without prosthetic mesh.

Implications:

  • Surgical intervention during the early follicular phase (days 1-4) is advised to reduce endometriotic cell dissemination.
  • Wide surgical excision is crucial for preventing local recurrence of umbilical endometriosis.
