Comparison of different modalities of treatment for minimal and mild endometriosis.

Abstract:

:This is a retrospective study designed to compare the results of treatment of minimal and mild types of endometriosis with danazol alone, operative laparoscopy and danazol combined, and operative laparoscopy alone. The population consisted of 112 patients with minimal endometriosis and 126 patients with the mild type. Pregnancy rate and endometriosis resolution were lowest in patients who were treated with danazol alone and highest in patients treated with operative laparoscopy alone. It is concluded that in an infertile population with minimal to mild endometriosis danazol alone appears ineffective in improving the pregnancy rate or in achieving complete resolution of endometriosis. Laparoscopic surgery for the treatment of minimal to mild endometriosis seems to be a promising method of treatment.
