Comparison of ovarian reserve after cystectomy of ovarian endometrioma by bipolar coagulation, suture method, or hemostatic sealants: An updated meta-analysis.
Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research 2024 March 20
AIM: The purpose of the study was to compare the ovarian reserve after cystectomy of ovarian endometrioma by bipolar coagulation, suture method, or hemostatic sealants (HSs).
METHODS: We performed a meta-analysis of studies in which post-cystectomy serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) values were compared between bipolar coagulation and suture method or between bipolar coagulation and HSs. Through a literature search, we retrieved 14 articles which met inclusion criteria and were eligible for final analysis. The articles included 10 randomized trials, 3 prospective studies, and 1 retrospective study (n = 1435). The primary outcome was post-cystectomy serum AMH values.
RESULTS: Both bipolar coagulation and suture methods showed significantly lower post-cystectomy AMH values at 3, 6, and 12 months. However, post-cystectomy serum AMH values at 12 months were significantly higher in the suture method group compared to the bipolar coagulation (weighted mean difference [WMD]: -1.10, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -1.83, -0.38, p = 0.003, I2 = 89, n = 3). The suture method also showed a lower decline rate at 3 months post-cystectomy compared to the bipolar coagulation group (WMD: -25.13%, 95% CI: -49.56 to -0.70, p = 0.04, I2 = 95%, n = 2). Overall, pregnancy rates were similar between the two groups. Between the bipolar coagulation and HSs group, serum AMH values at 3 months post-cystectomy were similar (WMD: -0.46, 95% CI: -1.04 to 0.13, p = 0.13, I2 = 0%, n = 3). However, the HSs group showed a less decline rate at 3 months post-cystectomy compared to the bipolar coagulation group (WMD: -17.02%, 95% CI: -22.81, -11.23, p < 0.00001, I2 = 0%, n = 3).
CONCLUSIONS: Both the suture method and HSs may have potential benefits in the preservation of ovarian reserve over the bipolar coagulation method when cystectomy for ovarian endometrioma is performed.
