The Effect of Hemostatic Method on Ovarian Reserve following Endometrioma Excision
Authored by Vasilios Tanos*
Endometrioma surgery and hemostasis
negative affect ovarian reserve. The size of the endometrioma and the surgical
technique are the most determining factors preserving ovarian function.
Stripping the endometrioma pseudocapsule is detrimental for healthy ovarian
tissue, reduces the risk of recurrence, however, not appropriate for
infertility patients undergoing ART. Fenestration and laser vaporization of an
endometrioma seems to minimally destruct the healthy ovarian tissue, offering
the best surgical treatment option to infertility patients. Endometrioma
develops from the ovarian epithelium, hence affects in general ovarian function
but especially folliculogenesis. Decreased antral follicle count (AFC) and
reduction in the number of oocytes retrieved during IVF have been repeatedly
reported. Ovarian endometriosis is often a marker for more extensive pelvic and
intestinal disease. Trans-vaginal hydrolaproscopy elucidates the pathogenesis
and can provide the treatment of small ovarian endometrioma upto 3cm.
Implantation of regurgitated endometrial cells via tubal lumen during menses on
ovarian surface causes persistent inflammation, bleeding at implantation site
and invagination of the ovarian cortex, adhesions, cystic formation, tissue
alterations and hence, the endometrioma pseudocapsule is actually the ovarian
epithelium with the follicular structures and oocytes. Once an endometrioma is
open after thorough irrigation, careful endoscopic close up image reveals
scanty areas of pinkish tissue which is actually the ovarian epithelium. Of
course the majority of the exposed tissue is embedded with endometriotic cells
that will be destroyed, usually by an effort of stripping the capsule or
bipolar coagulation, laser etc.
