Detailed Description

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent gynecological disease characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, associated with pelvic pain and subfertility. Despite its benign character, endometriosis can recur after surgery and continues to be a disease that disrupts the quality of life of millions of women. This study aimed to examine the risk factors in women who underwent cystectomy or unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy due to endometriosis but had a recurrence. Therefore, the predictive value of parameters such as preoperative biochemical parameters, cyst size and the revised American Society for Reproductive Medicine (rASRM) Scoring system will be examined in recurrent cases.
