Oophoropexy at the Time of Excision of Parametrial and/or Ovarian Fossa Endometriosis to Reduce Postoperative Adhesive Disease

This study evaluates the efficacy of oophoropexy, a surgical technique involving the fixation of the ovary, in minimizing postoperative adhesive disease following the excision of parametrial and ovarian fossa endometriosis. The research was conducted at UPMC Magee–Womens Hospital and presented as an abstract in the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists supplement. While specific quantitative results are not detailed in the provided text, the intervention is designed to physically separate tissue planes to prevent the formation of adhesions after deep infiltrating endometriosis surgery. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically focusing on surgical management techniques for deep infiltrating lesions located in the parametrium and ovarian fossa.
