Genese und Klinik der Endometriosis
Kleine attributes the rising incidence of endometriosis interna and intraperitoneal disease to iatrogenic implantation of viable endometrial tissue during procedures like curettage, which compromises myometrial defense mechanisms.

This 1934 paper reviews the etiology and clinical presentation of endometriosis, noting that diagnostic criteria often rely on exclusion due to ambiguous symptoms. The authors propose a pathogenesis centered on iatrogenic implantation of viable endometrial tissue during procedures like curettage or abortion, which compromises myometrial defense mechanisms, rather than Sampson’s theory of retrograde menstruation. While acknowledging alternative hypotheses such as serosal epithelium transformation or continuity theories, the study emphasizes mechanical transfer of uterine lining as a primary driver for both internal and intraperitoneal disease forms. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically focusing on historical debates regarding its pathogenesis and proposing an iatrogenic mechanism for lesion formation.
