Brief Summary

Laparoscopic excision of endometriotic cysts is the main stream surgical intervention for treatment of endometriosis. However there is evidence that intervention may effect ovarian reserve by destruction of healthy ovarian tissue during surgery. Available evidence on the topic are contradictory and employed research methodology are diverse. There is need for an adequately powered research with proper methodology to assess actual effects of surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Anti-Mullerian hormone levels

    AMH (anti-mullerian hormone) levels will be measured before surgery and during various time points up to 1 year after the surgery

    1 year

Study Arms (1)

Laparoscopic removal

Patients with endometrioma who will undergo laparoscopic removal of cysts.

Procedure: Laparoscopic removal of cysts

Interventions

Women with endometrioma lesions will undergo laparoscopic removal. Cysts will be enucleated with blunt dissection of the cyst capsule and following traction, counter traction maneuver. Bipolar coagulation will be used sparsely and suturing will be the predominant choice for achieving bleeding control.

Laparoscopic removal

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 35 Years
Sexfemale
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

This study will recruit healthy women besides having endometrioma cysts who will undergo laparoscopic removal of such lesions.

You may qualify if:

  • Women with endometrioma cyst(s)
  • Women of age under 35 years old
  • Women without any previous ovarian surgery

You may not qualify if:

  • Combined oral contraceptive or long term GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone) analog use in the preceding 3 months to enrolment
  • Having another cystic lesion besides endometrioma
  • Need for extensive bipolar coagulation during surgery
  • Any anatomical problem preventing evaluation of ovaries with high-resolution ultrasound
  • Postoperative pathology excluding endometrioma
