THE RESULT OF LAPAROSCOPIC AND LAPAROTOMIC TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH EXTERNAL GENITAL ENDOMETRIOSIS USING IMMUNE RESPONSE MODIFIER
In a comparative study of 66 women with external genital endometriosis, adding the immune response modifier to surgery and hormone therapy improved immunity, reduced pain and relapses, and eliminated infertility in half the patients within one year.

This study evaluated the efficacy of an immune response modifier, 5-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrophthalazine-1,4-dione sodium salt, in treating external genital endometriosis following surgical intervention. The research utilized a rat model to demonstrate that the modifier induced retrogression of endometrioid heterotopias and normalized estrous cycles, findings that informed a clinical analysis of 66 women undergoing laparoscopic or laparotomic surgery. In the human cohort, post-surgical administration of the modifier resulted in improved cellular immunity, reduced pain severity, normalized menstrual function, and a significant decrease in relapse frequency compared to standard care alone. Notably, half of the treated women achieved pregnancy within the first year of observation, highlighting the treatment's potential for restoring reproductive function. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically focusing on the management of external genital lesions through combined surgical and immunomodulatory therapy.
