The Impact of Electrocoagulation on Ovarian Reserve After Laparoscopic Exc
Laparoscopic cystectomy is currently considered the treatment of choice in women with benign
ovarian cysts and has gained increasing acceptance among gynecological surgeons(1). However,
the safety of this technique in terms of ovarian damage to the operated gonad has recently
been questioned. In the present study, with the combined use of serum hormonal evaluation
and ultrasound examination, we planned to prospectively investigate the ovarian reserve
after the excision of benign ovarian cysts. The damage to ovarian reserve will be evaluated
through a 12-months follow-up after the application of bipolar, ultrasonic scalpel
electrocoagulation or suture during ovarian cystectomy
