Even though 80% of patients with High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer respond to standard first-line chemotherapy, a majority of them could relapse in the following five years due to a resistance to platinum. Human Epididymis protein 4 (HE4) is…
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent, inflammatory disease that mainly affects women of reproductive age and is defined by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma at ectopic sites. Spontaneous hemoperitoneum due to bleeding …
ObjectiveTo evaluate if the presence of endometriomas impacts on the ovarian reserve as evaluated with antimüllerian hormone (AMH).DesignSystematic review and meta-analysis.SettingNot applicable.Patient(s)Patients with unoperated endometrio…
Ovarian endometriomas affect 17 to 44% of women with endometriosis, and are often associated with pelvic pain and infertility. Treatment options include expectant management, medical and/or surgical treatment, and in vitro fertilization and…
ObjectiveTo evaluate the excised specimen with histologic analysis and to assess the antral follicle count (AFC) at follow-up. This is to determine whether excisional surgery for recurrent endometriomas is more harmful to ovarian tissue and…
Recent evidence in the literature suggests that surgical excision of the endometrioma wall may reduce ovarian reserve, which may have a negative effect on subsequent reproductive function. However, because of inconsistent results and method…

STUDY QUESTION: Does surgical treatment of endometriomas impact on the ovarian reserve as evaluated with antral follicle count (AFC)? SUMMARY ANSWER: This meta-analysis of published data shows that surgery for endometrioma does not signific…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is frequently associated with high levels of CA125. This marker is therefore not useful for discriminating ovarian endometrioma from ovarian malignancy. The aim of this study was to establish a panel of complementa…
Surgical treatment of ovarian endometriosis has been associated with damage to the ovarian tissue and premature ovarian failure in young patients. A modified surgical technique that combines cyst excision with ablation for the surgical trea…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common gynecologic disease characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue. In industrialized countries, it affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. Its etiology is unclear, but a mult…
Study objectiveTo evaluate the use of FloSeal, a 2-component (collagen granules and thrombin) topical hemostatic agent for the control of minor bleeding of the ovarian wall at the end of the laparoscopic stripping procedure for endometrioma…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate by thorough pathologic analysis the histologic features of the endometrioma wall excised at laparoscopy. DESIGN: Prospective series of consecutive patients. SETTING: Tertiary care, university hospital. PATIENT(S): …
BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic surgery has become the gold-standard treatment for ovarian endometriomas. The objective of this trial was to evaluate different procedures for the laparoscopic excision of ovarian endometriomas with the stripping te…
BACKGROUND: The stripping technique for endometriomas excision has been reported to be associated with follicular loss. The objective of this trial was to evaluate the presence and nature of ovarian tissue adjacent to the endometrioma cyst …
Study objectiveTo evaluate, by means of serial transvaginal ultrasound (US) examinations, the ovary after laparoscopic excision of endometriomas with the stripping technique.DesignProspective, controlled, single-blind clinical trial (Canadi…
ObjectiveTo determine whether the stripping technique by laparoscopy is a tissue-sparing procedure.DesignProspective study.SettingUniversity hospital.Patient(s)Forty-two women, 21 to 35 years of age, who had a unilateral ovarian cyst (26 en…
ObjectiveWe sought to evaluate the efficacy of postoperative administration of monophasic, combined, low-dose oral contraceptives on endometrioma recurrence and on persistence-recurrence of associated pain symptoms after laparoscopic treatm…
Serum levels of CA125 and 90K, a new tumor-associated antigen, were measured in 73 ovarian cancer patients and 70 patients with benign gynecological conditions. Abnormally high serum CA 125 and 90K levels were found in 49% and 78% of these …
