This paper investigates the safety of operative laparoscopy for treating ovarian endometriosis.

One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

This short communication describes the delayed onset of premature ovarian failure (POF) in some young patients, between 5 to 24 months after operative laparoscopy for ovarian endometriosis. This complication apparently does not have a link with traditional risk factors for POF. In view of this observation, further and consistent clinical investigations are necessary to seek an explanation for this possible iatrogenic effect, which is of particular concern to young patients who are referred for video laparoscopy as a treatment for ovarian endometriosis.
