Long-Term Medical Therapy after Laparoscopic Excision of Ovarian Endometriomas: Can We Reduce and Predict the Risk of Recurrence?

Simona Del Forno et al.

Summary: A retrospective cohort study evaluated the efficacy of long-term hormonal therapy in preventing endometrioma recurrence after laparoscopic excision, finding that continuous users of estroprogestins had a lower risk of relapse compared to non-users. The study also reported a 36% recurrence rate of endometriotic cysts, with dysmenorrhea being the first recurring symptom. Limitations include the retrospective design and grouping of patients based on the longest treatment without considering discontinuation rates. The conclusion suggests that long-term use of estroprogestins after conservative surgery may reduce the risk of disease recurrence.

Patients with lower than expected ovarian response may benefit from endometrioma surgery in subsequent IVF cycles.
