Impact on Ovarian Reserve According to the Type of Ovarian Endometrioma Excision: Laser Versus Conventional Cystectomy
- Conditions
- Endometriosis Ovary
- Registration Number
- NCT03826355
- Lead Sponsor
- Hospital Clinic of Barcelona
- Brief 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.
