Abstract

BACKGROUND: Adolescent endometriosis is a special type of endometriosis. Its diagnosis is often delayed. This study aimed to share the treatment experience of adolescent endometriosis and analyze the clinical manifestation, clinical stage, and risk factors of postoperative recurrence in China. METHODS: Eighty-nine cases of adolescent endometriosis over 7 years in a single institution were reviewed. Demographic, clinical outcome measures were collected. RESULT: The cumulative incidence rates of postoperative recurrence at years 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 were 13.2%, 15.09%, 16.98%, 20.75%, and 20.75%, respectively. The risk factors associated with postoperative recurrence were disease stage, number of lesions, and height. In multivariate analysis, the independent risk factors of postoperative recurrence were height (RR: 1.132, 95% CI: 1.018-1.260) and the number of pelvic lesions (three or more, RR: 4.202, 95% CI: 1.013-17.433). CONCLUSION: Taller patients and those who had multiple lesion sites (≥3) should receive more attention, because they have a higher possibility of relapse after surgery than their counterparts. This finding can guide the postoperative treatment of adolescent patients with endometrioma.
