Other people2 John Sampson disambiguation File John A. Sampson.jpg thumb John A. Sampson John Albertson Sampson August 17, 1873&ndash December 23, 1946 was a gynecologist who studied endometriosis . Sampson was born near Troy, New York and graduated from Johns Hopkins University Johns Hopkins in 1899. After completing his training in gynecology, he settled in Albany, New York . He worked at the Albany Hospital, and later became Professor of Gynecology at the Albany Medical College . While endometriotic cysts had been described before so by W.W.Russell in 1898 , it was Sampson who studied the disease systematically, described the clinical manifestations, and contributed to our understanding by proposing, in 1921, that endometriosis a term he coined is a process produced by the escape of menstrual debris including endometrial tissue that escapes retrograde through the fallopian tube s into the pelvis. ref Sampson JA. Peritoneal endometriosis due to the menstrual dissemination of endometrial tissue into the peritoneal cavity. Am J Obstet Gynecol 14 422, 1927 ref This then leads to secondary reactions of inflammation, repair, and scar formation. His theory of retrograde menstruation explains the typical distribution of endometriosis in the pelvis and why women with cervical or vaginal obstruction have a high incidence of endometriosis, it does not, however, provide an answer why some women have endometiosis after hysterectomy or in distant organs. Thus alternative theories have been developed, including the concept that endometriosis that starts in the pelvis de novo from stem cells. Even today, these and other theories coexist, as the cause of endometriosis remains a subject of debate. He has the distinction of having an artery named after him Sampson artery .
