Ovarian Endometriosis: Ablation or Excision?

About

THE WEBINAR

The application of laser therapy as an adjunct in gynaecological diseases has increased considerably. Many specialists now consider introducing laser technology into their gynaecology and outpatient procedures. We are convinced of its benefits and so, have commenced our laser workshops on gynaecological surgery.

The basic intention is to provide a practical introduction and approach to technical issues.

When do you operate for patients with endometriosis and require fertility? We see patients with recurrent endometrioma after surgery and now need IVF. Would you use size of endometrioma to decide if the patient needs surgery before IVF?

How about sclerotherapy? Could it be an alternative to thermal ablation or excision?

This is not the right treatment. The endometriomas will return within a year with ablation.
