Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to present cryoablation as a minimally invasive definitive treatment for abdominal wall endometriosis. We describe our experience with the outpatient application of cryoablation to treat symptomatic abdominal wall endometriosis in three patients. CONCLUSION: This feasibility study shows that minimally invasive cryoablation treated abdominal wall endometriosis in three patients and provided a prompt clinical response.
