An Innovative Treatment of Endometriosis with the Use of Plasma Technology

Firstly, tumor’s size and its anatomical location were marked. The unique and rare appearance of wrinkled and rugged skin covering the tumor should be noticed. The operating field was prepared and the abdominal skin was incised across in order to dissect the entire scar after the caesarean section. About 3 fingers below the umbilicus and 2 fingers above the pubic symphysis, within the subcutaneous tissue and the fascia of rectus abdominis muscle, there was a visible tumor with the size: 100mm x 80 mm. It was lifted by the vulsellum in order to expose the margins of the implant. The tumor was removed using the Plasma knife from the subcutaneous tissue and the fascia. The rectus abdominis muscle, peritoneum, and abdominal organs were not infiltrated. The Argon Plasma enabled to remove the implants precisely and ably, with the absence of bleeding (Argon Plasma can coagulate the bleeding vessels). The remaining implants located on the rectus abdominis muscle’s fascia were vaporized with the use of Plasma alike. The material was sent to the histological examination. The haemostasis was controlled and the fascia, the subcutaneous tissue, and the skin were sutured.
