OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the surgical impact of benign ovarian mass on ovarian reserve as measured by serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol (E2) and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels, antral follicle count (AFC) and ovarian volumes. In addition, the differences in ovarian reserve impairment between endometrioma cystectomy and non-endometrioma cystectomy we...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes of long gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) and GnRH-antagonist (GnRH-ant) protocols in endometriosis patients who have undergone laparoscopic endometrioma resection surgery. To our knowledge, there is no study in the current literature that compares the effectiveness of long GnR...

BACKGROUND Endometriosis is ectopic development of endometrial glands and stroma in extra-uterine sites and if the lesions occur as a well-defined mass is referred to as endometrioma. In the literature, endometrioma has been reported in only women and there are no reports of endometrioma in animals, including non-human primates. CASE PRESENTATION A rare case of endometrioma is reported in an ...

PURPOSE Evaluate the efficacy of norethindrone acetate in the resolution of symptoms and regression of recurrent endometrioma. PATIENTS AND METHODS Retrospective chart review at SUNY Downstate Medical Center of patients with a history of surgical excision of endometrioma (with histological confirmation) and recurrent endometrioma (demonstrated by strict sonographic criterion of endometrioma) ...

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 tha...

BACKGROUND: Progestin therapy has been commonly used in endometriosis. The regulation of progesterone receptors B (PR-B) greatly affects the success rate cases presence tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a endometriosis triggers PR-B hypermethylation, decreasing expression and PR-B/A ratio that induce resistance. It may also occur endometrioma. Studies regarding distribution PR-A with TNF-a endometrio...

Background: Endometrioma is a complex gynecological disease with increasing global prevalence. Laparoscopic cystectomy remains to be the primary choice of modality. Several studies, however, have revealed that laparoscopic in endometriomas can cause ovarian damage and reduction reserve. They demonstrated decrease serum AMH levels endometrioma patients following cystectomyObjective: To identify ...
