Dan Martin, MD
Retrocervical and Rectovaginal Endometriosis
was presented at the
25th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Endometriosis Society in Osaka, Japan on
January 25 2004.

This
presentation was on the terminologies used for rectovaginal
endometriosis. The terminology is influenced by conflicting anatomic
understanding. Vaginal surgeons and urogynecologists know that the Pouch
of Douglas extends to the middle third of the vagina in most women.
However, Netter drew
this in a retrocervical location in 1954. In addition, many authors (Cullen
1917, Adamyan 1993, Umaria 2001) discuss a retrocervical position of
endometriosis as being in the septum. The septum is not generally retrocervical
in normal anatomy.
This was the second time
for Dr. Martin has been invited as the guest speaker at this yearly meeting.
He spoke on Recognition of Endometriosis at the 15th
Annual Meeting of the
Japanese Endometriosis Society in Osaka, Japan in January 1994.

Research Aspects of Endometriosis Surgery
Dan Martin, MD
Research Aspects of
Endometriosis Surgery
was presented at the National Institute of Health (NIH) workshop on
endometriosis at the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland in April of 2001 by Dr.
Dan Martin, University of Tennessee
Health Science Center, Memphis.
This workshop was sponsored as a multidiscipline approach to research in
endometriosis.
The presentation on Research Aspects of
Endometriosis Surgery covered six questions:
Is
treatment needed?
Is excision superior to coagulation?
Is “atypical” a reasonable term?
Does rectovaginal endometriosis invade the rectovaginal septum?
Do
research studies need a golden standard for recognition?
Will RBRVS and DRG impact on surgical endometriosis research?

complete paper
can be ordered from the
Annals of the New York Academy of
Science.
