Long Term Postoperative Recurrence Rates and Fertility Outcomes after Endometrioma CO2-Laser Vaporization: a 5 years follow-up experience.

Although cystectomy remains the gold standard for the surgical treatments of endometriomas, concerns about the negative effect on ovarian reserve are rising. Laser-CO2 vaporization of endometriomas has showed encouraging data on ovarian reserve preservation, postoperative pregnancy rates and recurrency. The aim of this study was to assess postoperative recurrence rate and pregnancy rate in patients with endometriomas managed by CO2 fiber laser vaporization after at least 5 years following surgery.
