This mini-review reports effective ethanol sclerotherapy for endometriomas, demonstrating pain relief and fertility preservation while comparing clinical outcomes to cystectomy.
Key Points
The aim is to evaluate ethanol sclerotherapy as a fertility-preserving alternative for endometriomas and its impact on ovarian reserve.
Mini-review synthesizing current evidence on ethanol sclerotherapy.
Emphasis on clinical outcomes and implications for fertility preservation.
Assessment of major complications and recurrence rates.
Ethanol sclerotherapy shows low rates of major complications.
It provides effective pain relief and reduces recurrence rates compared to cystectomy.
Ovarian reserve is better preserved with sclerotherapy than with surgical options.
