So the second pattern is the presence

0:03

of superficial peritoneal disease.

0:06

So the first pattern within that subgroup

0:11

So we've talked a little

0:12

0:14

So ovaries become adherent to one another

0:17

because there are superficial deposits on

0:19

the ovaries, and that creates adhesions,

0:22

and those adhesions tend to bring the ovaries

0:25

close to one another in the midline.
