Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The mean difference in the concentration of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) in peritoneal fluid (pg/mL) and Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) between the intervention and control groups at the time of surgery.Timepoint: 1. At Enrollment 2. Pre-operative(after 4months of intervention drug) 3. Intraoperative

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Cytokine Comparison: Mean difference in Interleukin-6 (IL-6) concentration (pg/mL). Mean difference in Interleukin-8 (IL-8) concentration (pg/mL). in peritoneal fluid between the study groups.Timepoint: Intra-operative;For Hematological Comparison: Mean difference in hs-CRP Mean difference in S. Ferritin Mean difference in CA-125 Timepoint: Enrollment Preoperative (after 4 month intervention);For Disease Severity Correlation: Correlation coefficient between the level of each cytokine and the revised American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL) stage for endometriosis.Timepoint: Intraoperative;For Ovarian Reserve Impact: The absolute change in serum Anti-M llerian Hormone (AMH) level (ng/mL) from baseline to 4 month preoperativeTimepoint: Enrollment Preoperative (after 4 month intervention);For Surgical Feasibility Total operative time (minutes). Intra-operative estimated blood loss (mL). Surgeons Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score for ease of dissection (0-10)Timepoint: Intraoperative;For Symptom Response: The absolute change in patient-reported pelvic pain VAS score (0-10) from baseline to the day of surgery.Timepoint: Enrollment Preoperative (after 4month of intervention)
