Long-term results of organ-preserving treatment of uterine leiomyoma combined with endometriosis.
This study found that uterine leiomyoma recurrence after myomectomy occurred in 56.1% of patients within five years, with a significantly higher recurrence rate in women who also had endometriosis.

The paper analyzed 5-year follow-up outcomes in 82 reproductive-age women who underwent myomectomy for uterine leiomyoma, comparing recurrence rates between those with isolated leiomyoma and those with uterine endometriosis in addition to leiomyoma. Myomectomy was performed via transabdominal, laparoscopic, or transcervical hysteroresectoscopic approaches, and the main finding was that leiomyoma recurrence occurred in 56.1% overall, with significantly higher recurrence in the combined group (71.1%) versus isolated leiomyoma (43.2%, p<0.05). The authors reported that the combined pathology showed a higher risk of recurrence particularly in the first postoperative year and overall by 5 years, and they explicitly attribute this to an additional recurrence-initiating effect of uterine endometriosis. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it evaluates how coexisting uterine endometriosis changes long-term leiomyoma recurrence after myomectomy.
