Laparoscopic treatment of endometriosis
Journal Title: European Journal of Medical Technologies - Year 2015, Vol 13, Issue 4
Abstract
Endometriosis is a chronic disease, difficult to treat and occurring in 6–10% of women at reproductive age [1]. The most common symptoms of endometriosis are: dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, dysmenorrhea, infertility. Therapeutic methods used in endometriosis are: pharmacological treatment focused primarily on alleviating pain, surgery and the combination of both. The gold standard in endometrial surgery is laparoscopy. Diagnostic laparoscopy performed to confirm endometriosis is an effective method that allows for quick diagnosis. Due to laparoscopy, usually a long-term, analgesictherapy, which cannot effectively cure and improve the quality of patients’ lives, can be shortened. Polish Gynecological Society recommendations for surgical treatment of endometriosis include: pain in the pelvic, infertility in the course of endometriosis, deep infiltrative endometriosis and endometrial ovarian cysts. The cyst resection decreases endometriosis relapse unlike cyst ablation or vaporization. On the other hand, more and more research provides evidence that laparoscopic excision of endometrial cysts adversely affects the functions of the ovaries and the ovarian reserve.
