Appropriate exposure was achieved by transecting the round ligament to provide a landmark for the inguinal canal. The endometriosis was identified and dissected off the external iliac vasculature and the abdominal wall using the squeeze technique.

It typically presents as a groin lump or pain that is worse with menstruation. As the endometriosis is in close proximity to the abdominal wall and local vasculature, MRI imaging, as well as general surgery and vascular surgery consultation, are necessary for proper surgical planning.

Overall, 65 candidates were carriers of chromosomal abnormalities and were, therefore, excluded from the donation process (0.79%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.60–0.98). The occurrence of balanced structural chromosomal rearrangements globally increased in the study population (0.49%; 95% CI, 0.34–0.64) compared with that in female newborns (0.24%; 95% CI, 0.34–0.64). The number of reciprocal translocations increased fivefold in nulliparous oocyte donor candidates (0.37%; 95% CI, 0.10–0.64). The incidence of sex chromosome mosaicism notably increased in multiparous oocyte donor candidates, with 17 cases (0.27%; 95% CI, 0.14–0.40).
