Abstract

This was a retrospective study analyzing the need for reoperation for recurrent endometriomas after surgical therapy. There were 104 women who were followed after surgical excision of endometriomas, with a cross section of 46 gynecologic surgeons. When using a life-table for follow-up analysis, only 2.9% of all patients had reoperation for recurrence, with a maximum recurrence probability of 7% at 32 months of follow-up.
