This systematic review found laparoscopic cystectomy to be the most effective surgical treatment for endometriomas in infertile patients, preserving ovarian reserve and reducing recurrence without impacting IVF outcomes.

The paper is a qualitative systematic review of the literature on treatments for ovarian endometriomas in the context of infertility, searching PubMed/MEDLINE, Hinari, and Cochrane for studies published from February 2000 to March 2010 in English and Spanish. It reports that the strongest evidence favors differences between surgical techniques, with laparoscopic cystectomy identified as the most effective option that less adversely affects follicular ovarian reserve and significantly lowers recurrence risk. The review also states that laparoscopic cystectomy does not negatively affect in vitro fertilization outcomes regarding pregnancy rates. The limitation is that, as a qualitative systematic review, it relies on available comparative evidence rather than providing quantitative effect estimates. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically reviews ovarian endometrioma treatments for infertility and compares surgical techniques like laparoscopic cystectomy.

Abstract

Objetivo: realizar una revisión de la literatura sobre el tratamiento de los endometriomas en el área de la infertilidad.Materiales y métodos: el presente trabajo es una revisión sistemática cualitativa, para la cual se realizó una búsqueda electrónica en PubMed/ MEDLINE, Hinari y Cochrane, para recopilar información publicada tanto en inglés como en español desde febrero del 2000 a marzo del 2010, eligiendo aquellos artículos que evaluaban el tratamiento de los endometriomas en función de la infertilidad.Resultados: la mejor evidencia respecto al manejo de los endometriomas en infertilidad se encuentra en las diferencias de las técnicas quirúrgicas para su tratamiento. La cistectomía laparoscópica es el método quirúrgico más efectivo, afecta de menor manera la reserva ovárica folicular y disminuye de forma significativa el riesgo de recurrencias. No afecta los resultados de la FIV (fertilización in vitro) en términos de embarazos.Conclusiones: la cirugía excisional laparoscópica (cistectomía) de los endometriomas ofrece ventajas frente a las demás.
