This study aims to introduce an effective protocol for transvaginal ethanol sclerotherapy, focussing on the aspiration of viscous cystic content and the amount of ethanol instilled in the cystic cavity …
The Ablative Technique Options for Preserving fertility in Endometrioma study is a prospective, monocentric clinical study that combines a randomised controlled trial comparing cystectomy and plasma vapourisation for endometriomas measuring …
Background: Ovarian cystectomy is standard treatment for endometrioma but is associated with decreased ovarian reserve. Catheter-directed sclerotherapy (CDS) is an ovary-sparing image-guided alternative; however, supporting evidence comprises retrospective comparative and …
Background/Objectives: The treatment options for endometriosis vary depending on individual needs and clinical circumstances. To preserve ovarian reserve, ethanol catheter-directed sclerotherapy may be considered as a treatment option. We compared …
Effective individualized tools to predict cumulative live birth rates are lacking for patients with ovarian endometriomas undergoing In Vitro Fertilization or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection after ultrasound-guided ethanol sclerotherapy. This study …
Endometriomas are a common manifestation of endometriosis in women of reproductive age and pose a clinical challenge due to their association with pain, infertility, and compromised ovarian reserve. Surgical removal …
Evidence suggests that endometrioma cystectomy can significantly reduce ovarian reserve. Ethanol sclerotherapy is a promising, minimally invasive alternative. This overview aims to critically evaluate systematic reviews that addressed the safety …
To compare the efficacy of ultrasound-guided alcohol sclerotherapy versus laparoscopic cystectomy for the management of ovarian endometriomas, focusing on complications, recurrence, pain relief, and healthcare costs.
The optimal management strategy for large (≥ 4 cm) endometriomas prior to in vitro fertilization (IVF) remains uncertain. This study aimed to compare the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) among …
