NCT05470972

Brief Summary

Design: Prospective interventional study. 69 women with OE were evaluated clinically and by transvaginal ultrasonography (TUV). AEST procedure was performed and the collected aspirate and pre-procedural blood samples were collected for estimation of cytokines' levels. At 6-m post-procedure, clinical evaluation and TUV were repeated and serum cytokines' levels were re-estimated.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The effect of AEST procedures on patients' cytokines levels.

    The effect of AEST on patients serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-8 and interleukin-10

    6 months

Study Arms (1)

Ovarian Endometrioma

EXPERIMENTAL

Ovarian endometrioma (OE) is in women of reproductive age

Drug: Ethanol Injection

Interventions

The AEST procedure was performed as follows: vaginal walls were cleansed using vaginal povidone-iodine, a 17 gauge, 30-cm length needle was inserted through the posterior vaginal fornix into the pouch of Douglas, and the cyst was aspirated till complete disappearance of the cyst on the ultrasound scanner. The collected cystic fluid was collected into a plastic tube without an anticoagulant. The needle was maintained in its place, the syringe was removed and the cyst was flushed with saline solution until obtaining a clear liquid. Then, 96% ethanol was injected as 60% of the volume of the aspirated fluid to guard against over distension or rupture of the cyst and/or ethanol diffusion into the pelvis. The collected fluid was divided into three sterile tubes for cytological and bacteriological examinations and the study investigations. Patients were allowed to be completely recovered and were discharged home.
