Abstract

Endometriosis of the appendix is condition that is seen in young women, and it clinically presents with chronic lower abdominal pain. It is one of the sites of extra pelvic endometriosis and it is confirmed on histopathological evaluation of the appendix. The dilemma for the surgeon is if an appendectomy is to be performed or not. The introduction of laparoscopic surgery has made visualization of the pelvis and appendix easier, and we have conducted this narrative review article to see if an appendectomy should be performed in all cases of endometriosis.

期刊介绍： The SEAMEO* Regional Tropical Medicine and Public Health Project was established in 1967 to help improve the health and standard of living of the peoples of Southeast Asia by pooling manpower resources of the participating SEAMEO member countries in a cooperative endeavor to develop and upgrade the research and training capabilities of the existing facilities in these countries. By promoting effective regional cooperation among the participating national centers, it is hoped to minimize waste in duplication of programs and activities. In 1992 the Project was renamed the SEAMEO Regional Tropical Medicine and Public Health Network.
