This study evaluated the long-term reproductive outcomes of 120 infertile women with endometrioid ovarian cysts who underwent either a novel cystectomy technique or traditional surgery. Researchers monitored ovarian reserve parameters and pregnancy rates over a 36-month period, comparing results against a control group of fertile women. The findings indicated that while both surgical approaches resulted in some decline in ovarian reserve, the innovative technique preserved it significantly better than the traditional method. Consequently, the new technique yielded higher intrauterine pregnancy rates, particularly when combined with assisted reproductive technologies. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the surgical management and fertility preservation associated with endometrioid ovarian cysts.

The objective. To study long-term outcomes of treatment of infertile patients with endometrioid ovarian cysts depending on a surgical technique of cystectomy.
Patients and methods. The study included 120 female patients with infertility and endometrioid cysts of the ovaries. Group 1 comprised 60 patients, who received operative treatment using a novel technique of cystectomy; group 2 – 60 patients, who underwent traditional cystectomy. Hormonal, echographic and Doppler parameters of ovarian reserve were examined before and after operative treatment. In the postoperative period, reproductive function was realized in a natural way, and also with the help of assisted reproductive technologies. Male factor infertility was excluded. Occurrence of pregnancy was assessed for 36 months from the moment of operative treatment. The control group consisted of 60 fertile women without operative intervention on the uterine appendages who had 2 or more children.
Results. A moderate decrease of ovarian reserve was diagnosed in patients with endometrioid cysts of the ovaries as compared with the control group. In patients of group 1, a significantly less decrease of ovarian reserve after the operation was noted as compared with patients of group 2. Occurrence of intrauterine pregnancy in groups 1 and 2 was 58% and 36.6%, respectively. The frequency of spontaneous pregnancy in group 1 was 25%, in 2 – 10%. All other intrauterine pregnancies occurred with the help of assisted reproductive technologies.
Conclusion. The innovative technique of cystectomy of endometrioid ovarian cysts and assisted reproductive technologies are the most effective methods of treatment of patients with endometrioid ovarian cysts and infertility.
