“…In cases where the uterus is distorted by either being deeply retroverted and retroflexed, particularly if it also included myomata, this predilects to the formation of adenomyosis in the posterior wall. 7 Sampson described these underlying uterine features in two-thirds of his cases of DIER. His better-known theory of implantation following retrograde menstruation was a later idea published in 1927 8 and which, while explaining the majority of peritoneal endometriosis, does not really explain DIER or endometriosis located in unusual, even extrapelvic sites.…”

“…In 1913, he described vascular features related to uterine myoma and the unique venous drainage underlying abnormal uterine bleeding. 7 In 1918, he demonstrated a metastatic mechanism that can form the basis of a theory for endometriosis in unusual locations. 8 His betterknown theory of an implantation mechanism following retrograde menstruation was a later idea published in 1927.…”

A recent randomized control trial reports at the 5 years postoperative stage for limited vs extended surgery involving the rectovaginal septum. For those gynecologists with advanced laparoscopy skills who have been reluctant to embrace the idea of complete bowel resections with reanastomosis, the study provides comfort in showing no difference in long-term outcomes between nodule excision and rectal resection. However, the study perpetuates the idea that all medical procedures have to be subjected to this type of statistical analysis, without any reference to the pioneers whose ideas formed the basis of current procedures as well as providing an understanding of the pathogenesis of the underlying disorder. The two gynecologists who first reported on the surgical management of this condition 100 years ago projected different ideas on pathogenesis as well as the appropriate surgical method to apply. Thomas Cullen and John Sampson should be acknowledged in any consideration of determining the appropriate procedure for this challenging disorder.

“…ver the past year we have carefully read the 18 published works of American gynaecologist John Albertson Sampson (1873Sampson ( -1946 that we were able to trace, in order to better understand the vascular make-up of the human uterus and the mechanism by which intramural leiomyomata cause dysfunction. In this respect his publications of 1912, 1913 and 1918 provided unique insight into the venous drainage system, explaining how even relatively small fibroids, remote from the endometrial cavity, can cause adverse symptoms (Sampson, 1918;Yovich et al, 2019). We also discovered that Sampson's pioneering research endeavours uncovered two mechanisms that explain the pathogenesis of virtually all cases of both pelvic and non-pelvic endometriosis, but his work these days is poorly presented.…”

“…Uterine myomas may have significant detrimental effects on menstruation and fertility. Regardless of their location within the uterus, they may reduce the chance of successful embryo implantation (clinical pregnancy) by 50% and increase the risk of pregnancy loss (1). While the negative impact of myomas on fertility seems clear, there is still no strong evidence regarding the influence of their removal on conception.…”
