Recurrence of ovarian endometrioma after second-line, conservative, laparoscopic cyst enucleation.

Objective: We sought to evaluate the cumulative recurrence rate of endometrioma after a second-line, conservative, laparoscopic endometriotic cyst enucleation and to analyze the factors that influence the recurrence of endometrioma.

Study Design: A multicenter retrospective cohort study was performed at 3 gynecologic surgery centers from January 2000 through December 2010. Patients surgically treated by laparoscopic enucleation of endometriotic cysts on 2 previous occasions were selected.

Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) versus conventional laparoscopic surgery for adnexal preservation: a randomized controlled study.

Objective: To compare the operative outcomes, postoperative pain, and subsequent convalescence after laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) or conventional laparoscopic surgery for adnexal preservation.

Study Design: From December 2009 to September 2010, 63 patients underwent LESS (n = 33) or a conventional laparoscopic surgery (n = 30) for cyst enucleation. The overall operative outcomes including postoperative pain measurement using the visual analog scale (VAS) were evaluated (time points 6, 24, and 24 hours).
