In this video, Cleveland Clinic surgeons describe two theories of endometrioma pathogenesis:

  1. Progressive invagination of the ovarian cortex at the site of endometrial implants
  2. Coelomic metaplasia

Watch as surgeons laparoscopically remove a large left ovarian endometrioma via cyst wall excision, emphasizing intraovarian suturing for hemostasis and ovarian preservation.

Physicians from Cleveland Clinic’s Ob/Gyn & Women’s Health Institute will present on this topic at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) 2017 Congress & Expo in San Antonio, Texas.
