  • Title: Excision of the posterior vaginal fornix is necessary to ensure complete resection of rectovaginal endometriotic nodules of more than 2 cm in size.
    Author: Matsuzaki S, Houlle C, Botchorishvili R, Pouly JL, Mage G, Canis M.
    Journal: Fertil Steril; 2009 Apr; 91(4 Suppl):1314-5. PubMed ID: 18384782.
    Abstract:
    The minimum distance between the vaginal mucosal epithelium and the endometriotic glands was <1,000 microm in 30 patients (49.2%), <2,000 microm in 44 patients (72.1%), and <5,000 microm in 60 patients (98.4%). Our findings provided histologic evidence that excision of the posterior vaginal fornix was necessary to completely remove large rectovaginal endometriotic nodules.
