Effect of dienogest on pain and ovarian endometrioma occurrence after laparoscopic resection of uterosacral ligaments with deep infiltrating endometriosis.
European journal of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology(2017)
Abstract
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of dienogest (DNG) in preventing the occurrence of pain and endometriomas after laparoscopic resection of uterosacral ligaments (USLs) with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE).
STUDY DESIGN:This retrospective analysis included 126 patients who underwent laparoscopic resection of USLs with DIE followed by postoperative administration of DNG or no medication. Every 6 months postoperatively, patients answered questions and underwent ultrasound examination to identify pain and/or endometrioma.
RESULT:There were three (5.0%) cases of endometrioma in 59 patients from the DNG group and 21 (31.3%) cases in 67 patients from the no medication group (P=0.0002). Pain returned to preoperative levels in eight (11.9%) cases in the no medication group. No recurrence of pain occurred in the DNG group (P=0.0061).
CONCLUSION:The administration of DNG after resection of USLs with DIE significantly reduces the occurrence rate of endometriosis-related pain and endometriomas.
