Summary

Endometriosis is a disease characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus cavity, causing important chronic pain and sterility in those patients suffering from it. It affects from 10 to 20% of women at reproductive age. Different types of endometriosis, which can coexist in the same patient, exist: deep infiltrating endometriosis (implants infiltrate \> 5 mm the peritoneum), superficial endometriosis and ovarian endometriosis (OMA). OMA sometimes require surgery, and it is known that healthy ovarian tissue is also injured during resection. Consequently, ovarian reserve decreases, worsening the reproductive prognosis of patients affected. The main objective of the present study is to compare laser versus conventional OMA excision according to ovarian reserve in a pairwise-data study.

Conditions

  • Endometriosis Ovary

Interventions

PROCEDURE

CO2 (carbon dioxide) laser vaporisation

CO2 (carbon dioxide) laser is used to vaporise the inner wall of the endometrioma

PROCEDURE

Stripping technique

Identification of a cleavage plane and perform the cystectomy removing all the wall of the endometrioma from the healthy ovarian tissue
