Surgical approach of ovarian


endometriosis
Surgical approach has to be chosen :
1. Coagulation of the site of eversion
2. Endometrioma Fenestration and
vaporization
3. Ovarian Cystectomy
4. Combined = Cystectomy and vaporization

Ovarian cystectomy by laparoscopy


By Michel Canis
Avoid the opening of the cysts from the
anterior part of the ovary
Opening the cysts must be performed at the
attachment site zone of the cysts which
located between the ovary and the broad
ligament

1st step : via adhesiolysis (the separation


of the ovary from the broad ligament).
During the adhesiolysis, the cysts will be
opened and you will be entered the cysts.
2nd step : performing the opening of the
cysts. During cystectomy, it will be easier
to grasp the ovarian cortex.
Make sure both plane of cleavage and
blood vassel were visible. Use coagulate
and apply traction and contratraction to
avoid severe bleeding

Surgery and ovarian reserve


Risk of removal normal ovarian tissue and
ovocytes as endometrioma is surrounded
by a fibrotic capsule (which is an ovarian
tissue reaction)
By plane of cleavage can determined the
difference in macroscopic and microscopic
levels

Combined excision and ablation


Recommended for very large cysts in
bilateral endometriotic cysts.
Partial cystectomy + ablation of the
deepest part of the cysts
One step therapy

Excision + ablation : The Steps


1. Identified the ovary
2. The opening of the attachment between the
ovary and the broad ligament
3. After the separetion from the broad ligaments,
performed cystectomy by grasping the cysts
4. using traction and contratraction technique to
partially removed the cysts
5. After the cystectomy, performed ablation from
the deepest part of the cysts using CO2 laser

Endometriotic cysts :
recommandations
Preoperative treatment
Pelvic pain : yes
Infertility : no effect on endometrioma size

Laparoscopy
Cystectomy or ablation or combined

Hemostasis : selective bipolar coagulation


Associated lessions : to be treated
Anti adhesion : antacid or dialobary
Post operative treatment
Infertility : GnRH-analog before IVF
Pelvic pain or no desire for pregnancy : OC pill to avoid the
recurrence

Results of surgery?
Pregnancy rate : 60% of patiens obtain
spontaneous pregnancy after 9 12
months post op
Risk of recurrence
cystectomy = 5 8 %
ablation = 12 -22 %

Cystectomy (excisional) vs ablative


Excisional surgery provides more
favourable outcome than albation with
regard to the :
Recurrence of endometrioma and symptoms
related to previous problems
Subsequent spontaneous pregnancy

Surgery and ovarian reserve


Based on numerous research, indicates :
Statistically significant AMH decrease after
ovarian cystectomy
Ovarian reserve is injured by surgery
More reduction of ovarian reserve in women
operated for bilateral cysts

IVF outcomes after surgery


Increased number of cancelled cycles
Decreased number of follicles, oocytes and
embryos
Conclusion = IVF outcome significantly
impaired after surgery

Surgery in infertility associated to


endometriosis
In infertile women with AFS stage I/II
endometriosis, clinicans should perform
operative laparoscopy (excision or ablation),
rather than performing diagnostic laparoscopy
only increase ongoing pregnancy rates
Clinicans may consider CO2 laser vaporization
of endometriosis compared to monopolar
electrocoagulation higher cumulative
spontaneous pregnancy rates
Powerpoint Templates

Page 28

Clinicans should perform excision of the


endometrioma capsule, instead of
drainage and electrocoagulation of the
endometrioma wall increase
spontaneous pregnancy rates
In infertiloe women with endometriosis,
clinians should not prescribe adjunctive
hormonal treatment before or after surgery
may decrease spontaneous pregnancy
