Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery for ovarian endometriosis cysts showed significantly better surgical indexes, improved ovarian function, and fewer complications compared to traditional laparotomy.

This paper studied 66 patients with ovarian endometriosis cysts who were randomly assigned to laparotomy (n=33) or minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery (n=33) and compared surgical indexes, ovarian function hormone measures (E2, LH, FSH), and complications. The minimally invasive laparoscopic group had significantly better surgical-related outcomes (including surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, length of stay, and postoperative antibiotic duration) and showed a hormonal profile with higher E2 and lower LH and FSH after surgery, alongside a lower overall complication incidence. The authors’ stated limitation is that the sample is relatively small and comes from a single hospital over a one-year enrollment window. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it directly compares laparoscopic versus open surgery for ovarian endometriosis cyst treatment and their effects on ovarian function and complications.

Abstract

Objective: To compare the clinical effects of laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery and laparotomy in the treatment of ovarian endometriosis cysts. Methods: 66 patients with endometriosis cysts admitted to our hospital from December 2022 to December 2023 were selected as the study subjects and randomly divided into a control group (n = 33) and an observation group (n = 33). The control group was treated with laparotomy, and the observation group was treated with minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery. The surgical indexes, ovarian function indexes, and complications were observed. Results: All surgical indexes of the observation group (surgical time, intraoperative blood volume, hospital stay, postoperative antibiotic use time) were significantly better than the control group, (Pmean < 0.001). After surgery, the E2 score of ovarian function indexes in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, while the luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels were lower than those in the control (t = 5.246, t = 5.173, t = 3.535, Pmean < 0.001). Lastly, the overall incidence of complications in the observation group (1/3.03%) was lower than that in the control group (8/24.24%), (χ2 = 4.632, P < 0.05). Conclusion: Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery is more effective than laparotomy in treating ovarian endometriosis.
