Abstract
In this video we show a novel methodology to induce endometriosis in mice using laparoscopic inoculation of syngeneic menstrual endometrium, mimicking Sampson's theory of retrograde menstruation [4]. Compared with currently available rodent models, our model offers a less invasive and more physiologic way for fundamental and preclinical endometriosis research, with a high endometriosis incidence and lesion take rate.
