Potential damage to ovarian reserve from laparoscopic electrocoagulation in endometriomas and benign ovarian cysts: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Laparoscopic cystectomy for ovarian endometriomas and benign ovarian cysts is often conducted through hemostatic methods, with bipolar electrocoagulation as a common approach. This study evaluated the impact of electrocoagulation, primarily through bipolar energy, versus nonthermal hemostatic methods on ovarian reserve in patients undergoing laparoscopic cystectomy for ovarian endometriomas and benign ovarian cysts.

Methods

A systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted by searching the Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the impact of nonthermal hemostatic methods and electrocoagulation on the ovarian reserve during laparoscopic cystectomy were included. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool fo
