Thoracic Endometriosis: Beyond the Pelvis in Diagnosis
with Dr. Shanti Mohling
Thoracic endometriosis occurs in about 12% of patients with advanced endometriosis. Due in part to its lower incidence and inherent diagnostic challenges, many providers are not well-versed in the workup and management of this advanced disease. In this episode of The BackTable OBGYN Podcast, host Dr. Mark Hoffman interviews Dr. Shanti Mohling, a gynecologic surgeon at Northwest Endometriosis and Pelvic Surgery, regarding her approach to thoracic endometriosis.
