Surgical resection or aspiration with ethanol sclerotherapy of endometrioma before in vitro fertilization in infertilie women with endometrioma

OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether the surgical resection or aspiration with ethanol sclerotherapy (AEST) of endometrioma before in vitro fertilization (IVF) affect controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) and IVF outcome in the infertilie women with endometroma undergoing IVF.

Also, sclerotherapy is basically used to treat different diseases one of which is endometrioma. OBJECTIVE The study was designed to assess the value of transvaginal ultrasound-guided ethanol sclerotherapy in patients w...

Does ovarian endometrioma affect the number of oocytes retrieved for in vitro fertilization?

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of ovarian endometrioma on the number of oocytes retrieved for in vitro fertilization (IVF). BACKGROUND The presence of endometrioma may be the most important predictor of a poor reproductive outcome. Literature data suggest that ovarian endometriomas might affect the response to ovarian stimulation and oocyte retrieval. METHODS The present retrospective...
