Abstract

Two cases of posterior uterine surface endometriosis were found at caesarean section in primigarvida and primipara consecutively. These cases are reported to convey the importance of Depo-Provera (depot medroxy progesterone), a three monthly injectable progesterone during the immediate post partum period to avoid the complication that may arise from the surrounding endometriotic deposits during the puerperium and afterwards.
