Clinical analysis of 1272 cases of pelvic endometriosis

Objective To assess the surgical effectiveness of pelvic endometriosis (EMS) by Laparoscopic. Methods Retrospective analysis was performed in 1272 pelvic EMS patients underwent laparoscopic surgical treatment. All patients were classified into four groups according to the R-AFS,63 patients of Ⅰ stage,44 patients of Ⅱ stage,475 patients of Ⅲ stage and 690 patients of Ⅳ stage. Symptoms of EMS,surgical effect and follow-up outcomes were compared. Results In all stages, there were no significant differences on moderate to severe dysmenorrhea,increase in CA125 and infertility (Ps ＞ 0. 05 ). In the EMS patients combined with AM or/and DIE, the rates of the moderate to severe dysmenorrhea, CA125 increase and infertility were 84.6% (11/13 ) ,92.3 %(12/13) and 53.8% (7/13)in stage Ⅰ ,81.8% (9/11) ,90. 9% ( 10/11 )and 54.5% (6/11) in stage Ⅱ ,84.8%(173/204) ,93. 1% (190/204) and 47.1% (96/204) in stage Ⅲ ,and 81.6% (213/261) ,91.2% (238/261) and 46.4% ( 121/261 ) in stage Ⅳ, respectively. The rates in non-consolidated AM or/and DIE patients were 46.0%(23/50),62.0% (31/50) and 22.0% ( 1 1/50) in stage Ⅰ ,45.5 % ( 15/33 ),54.5% ( 18/33 ) and 18.2% (6/33)in stage Ⅱ ,41.7% ( 113/271 ) ,62.7% ( 165/271 ) and 23.6% (64/271) in stage Ⅲ ,and 47.3% (203/429),60.1% (248/429) and 21.7% (93/429). The difference between the two groups with and without consolidated AM or/and DIE had statistical significance( P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01 ). After the treatment, the scores of life's energy, ache,emotion,sleep,social activity and body movement of NHP were significantly superior than those before treatment in all patients ( P ＜ 0.01 ). The surgery time-consuming of Ⅲ and Ⅳ stage patients were (64.5 ± 18.4) min and (61.7 ± 17.1 ) min respectively, which were significantly higher than that of Ⅰ and Ⅱ stage ( ( 31.9 ± 12.3 ) min and (40.3 ± 10. 6) main ] ( t = 20.25, P ＜ 0.01 ). The massive hemorrhages and the internal damage organs occurred in Ⅲ and Ⅳ stage surgery [2.9% and 3.5% ,respectively] ,whereas much less in Ⅰ and Ⅱ stage (0.8% and 1.4% ) ,with no significant difference(P ＞0. 05). After treatment,the rate of symptoms recurrence of Ⅲ and Ⅳ stage patients respectively were 21.4% ,which were higher than that of Ⅰ and Ⅱ stage patients ( 2.3% ) (P ＜ 0.05 )The rate of pregnancy in Ⅲ and Ⅳ stage patients ( 15.4% ) were lower than that of Ⅰ and Ⅱ stage patients (69. 6% ) ( P ＜ 0. 01 ). Conclusions Pelvic EMS decreased the quality of life. EMS patients combined with adenomyosis or/and deep infiltrating EMS have more severe pelvic pain symptoms, less surgical effectiveness and more serious complications. Ⅲ and Ⅳ stage patients are more liable to symptoms recurrence and lower pregnancy rate. Key words: Pelvic endometriosis;  Laparoscopic;  Adenomyosis
