This systematic review compared laparoscopic cystectomy to laparoscopic drainage and coagulation for ovarian endometriomas and found cystectomy superior for reducing recurrence, reoperation, and improving pregnancy rates.

Abstract

The optimal conservative treatment for endometriotic cysts is unclear, particularly when treated laparoscopically. We performed a systematic analysis of the published literature on ovarian endometrioma especially focused on comparing laparoscopic cystectomy with laparoscopic drainage and coagulation of the cyst with regard to evaluating advantage and disadvantage of each method. We observed that cystectomy was superior in terms of risk of recurrent symptoms, cyst, reoperation, pregnancy: this was true in both prospective and retrospective studies previously published. Given the evidence available, excision of cyst wall in endome- trioma is strongly recommended especially in infertile
