Brief summary
The primary purpose of the study is to compare laparoscopic excision of endometrioma by stripping technique versus combined technique (stripping plus coagulation/ablation) in terms of ovarian reserve and recurrence of endometrioma
Interventions
Each patient with bilateral endometriomas underwent to a single laparoscopy to remove the cysts. In the same laparoscopy two different techniques were performed: excisional stripping technique on one side versus combined technique (partial stripping and bipolar coagulation on last part on hilus) on the other side. Each patient received both surgical techniques performed at either side after random assignment. The mean duration of surgery was comparable between the two techniques and it was appr

The mean duration of surgery was comparable between the two techniques and it was approximately 20 minutes. Duration of study: one year.
