NCT04178876

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to compare two different laparoscopic surgical techniques (endometrioma stripping vs ethanol sclerotherapy) in terms of ovarian reserve (AMH levels), recurrence rate and pain relief.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • impact on ovarian reserve, in terms of reduction of serum AMH levels

    The AMH levels will be evaluated 1 month before the surgery and 1, 6 and 12 months after surgery.

    up to 12 months after the laparoscopy

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • endometrioma recurrence rate for the two surgical techniques

    up to 12 months after the laparoscopy

  • pain relief after surgery

    up to 12 months after the laparoscopy

Study Arms (2)

Aspiration and Sclerotherapy of endometriomas

EXPERIMENTAL

Aspiration and Sclerotherapy During Laparoscopy Using 95% Ethanol for the Treatment of Endometriomas

Procedure: ethanol sclerotherapy

laparoscopic stripping technique

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

cystectomy of endometriomas during laparoscopy

Procedure: stripping technique

Interventions

Endometrioma laparoscopic aspiration and sclerotherapy using 95% ethanol

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 35 Years
Sexfemale(Gender-based eligibility)
Gender Eligibility DetailsThis is a Gynecological study
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Women between 18-35 years old
  • Women with ultrasound diagnosis of ovarian endometrioma ≥4cm (with or without deep infiltrating endometriosis)
