Patient Nguyen Thi H., 47 years old (Tu Liem, Hanoi ) came to Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital for examination because for the past 3 years she had been experiencing abdominal pain during her menstrual cycle, especially every time her menstrual cycle came, menstrual blood flowed from the cesarean section scar on her abdomen.

Through examination, doctors at Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital found that the abdominal cesarean section incision (2nd cesarean section) had a hard, painful patch scattered throughout the abdominal wall near the incision. Abdominal ultrasound showed a hypoechoic mass measuring 60x35 mm in size in the midline and left-sided incision. In addition, the patient also had a uterine fibroid mass as large as a 3-month pregnant uterus.

Further investigation of the patient revealed that the patient had had two cesarean sections and had been known to have had endometriosis in the abdominal wall for 10 years. After one biliary surgery, the doctor “removed” the endometriosis in the abdominal wall. Since then, every time she had her period, blood would leak from the cesarean section scar, for 3 years now. She had been to several places for examination but was told that there was nothing she could do.

The team of Associate Professor, Dr. Le Thi Anh Dao - Head of Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics A5 - Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital performed a horizontal surgical scar removal to cut the endometriosis mass under the surgical wound measuring 10x6 cm, removed the uterus and 2 adnexa and successfully treated the patient's abdominal endometriosis. After 5 days, the patient was stable and discharged from the hospital.
