A randomized controlled trial of a new technique for laparoscopic management of ovarian endometriosis preventing recurrence and keeping ovarian reserve.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Laparoscopic cystectomy provides more favourable outcomes as regards the recurrence and subsequent clinical pregnancy rates. It is associated with significant reduction in the ovarian reserve due to the inevitable removal of unaffected ovarian tissue. The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficiency of Surgicel in preventing recurrence of endometriomas after their laparoscopic conservative management (cystectomy or drainage).

Material and methods

A randomized controlled trial included two hundred women (candidate for conservative laparoscopic management of ovarian endometriomas). They were randomized into four groups; group D in which patients underwent laparoscopic drainage of the endometrioma, group C in which patients underwent laparoscopic cystectomy of t
