Abstract

Use of preoperative gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists may be beneficial in the case of laparoscopic surgery for large endometriomas. Further studies are necessary to confirm the claim that preoperative GnRH agonists facilitate laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis. Use of GnRH agonists after laparoscopic treatment of endometriosis has beneficial effects in preventing the recurrence of pelvic pain associated with endometriosis.
