Postoperative hormonal therapies reduce the recurrence of thoracic endometriosis-related pneumothorax
European journal of cardio-thoracic surgery : official journal of the European Association for Cardio-thoracic Surgery ·doi:10.1093/ejcts/ezad331

OBJECTIVES: Thoracic endometriosis-related pneumothorax (TERP) frequently recurs even after surgery. Meanwhile, postoperative hormonal therapies (HTx) are believed to be effective for pelvic endometriosis. Therefore, we evaluated the relati…
