Abstract

The authors report their experience of the ultrasonic follow-up of endometriomas after laparoscopic enucleation. Fifty women with sixty-six endometriomas were treated: the average diameter of the endometriomas is 4.2 cm. The clinical and ultrasonic follow-up of 21 months shows: -the disappearance of the ovary's solution of continuity after laparoscopic enucleation of the endometriomas; -the persistence of deep endometriomas; -the presence of residual fragments of the endometrioma's capsule; -the appearance of relapsing endometriomas.
