Methods A total of 100 patients with endometriosis in abdominal wall after cesarean section were selected, and all patients underwent the ultrasonography examination. Then, the features and diagnostic value of ultrasonography examination were observed. Results The ultrasonography examination showed that 97 patients were diagnosed with endometriosis of abdominal wall scar, the accuracy of diagnosis was 97%, and there was no significant difference between ultrasonography examination results and pathological findings (P>0.05); the ultrasonography examination showed that the lesion had irregular shape, unclear edge and inhomogeneous echo in the interior. Color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) showed that there was small amount of bar blood flow signal and blood flow defect in lesion. Conclusions The ultrasonography examination is a safe and reliable method for the diagnosis of endometriosis in abdominal wall after cesarean section, which can provide an effective basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
