Laparoscopic approach to right diaphragmatic endometriosis with argon laser: case report

Diaphragmatic involvement by an endometriotic cyst is a rare entity that may be responsible for chronic thoracic pain. Herein we present a case report of a 6-cm right diaphragmatic endometrioma treated using laparoscopic partial excision and argon laser coagulation of the inner cyst wall. The laparoscopic approach to upper abdomen endometriosis is feasible and safe when accurate evaluation of the case is performed.
