Purpose The authors sought to evaluate the effectiveness of a modified technique of ultrasound (US)-guided aspiration and ethanol sclerotherapy in treating endometrial cysts and adopt this procedure as an alternative to surgery. Materials and methods One hundred forty consecutive patients with an average age of 26.3 years [standard deviation (SD) 6.1; range 16¨C45 years) and US diagnosis of endometrial cyst were randomly assgned to sclerotherapy with classical approach (ethanol 95¡ã) or modified one (a solution of ethanol, antibiotic and 5% polivinilpirrolidone iodio). A total of 183 endometriosic cysts underwent to US-guided aspiration and sclerotherapy (70 with transabdominal approach and the remaining 113 with transvaginal approach) and ethanol sclerotherapy. Results The procedure was successful in all patients. Follow-up imaging was carried out at 12 h, 24 h, 3 days, 15 days, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months. After 3 days, two intra-cystic abscess were detected in the group treated with classical approach. After 12 months, six patients showed recurrence, five of whom opted for a second session of US-guided aspiration and ethanol sclerotherapy, at this time with a modified approach. None patient treated with modified approach developed infective complications or recurrences. Moreover, 32 patients become pregnant following treatment (14 belonged to the first group and 18 to the second one), and they all successfully brought the pregnancy to term. Conclusions US-guided aspiration and sclerotherapy with the modified technique provides a safe alternative to surgery in treating endometrial cysts, with a lower rate of complications and recurrence, and a asignificant preservation of follicologenesis.
Obiettivo Scopo del nostro lavoro e' stato valutare l'efficacia di un metodo alternativo di aspirazione e alcolizzazione ecoguidata delle cisti endometriosiche dell'ovaio e proporre questa procedura quale alternativa all' intervento chirurgico. Materiali e metodi Centoquaranta pazienti consecutivi di eta' media di 26,3 anni (deviazione standard [DS] 6,1; range 16¨C45 anni) con diagnosi ecografica di cisti endometriosica, sono state assegnate in maniera random a trattamento scleroterapico con metodo classico (95¡ã etanolo) o modificato (una soluzione di etanolo 95¡ã, antibiotico e 5% polivinilpirrolidone iodio). 183 cisti endometriosiche sono state sottoposte ad aspirazione ed alcolizzazione ecoguidata (70 con approccio transaddominale; 113 con approccio transvaginale). Risultati La procedura e' stata effettuata con successo in tutte le pazienti. Sono stati eseguti controlli ecografici a 12, 24 ore, 3 giorni, 15 giorni, 3, 6, 12 e 24 mesi. Dopo 3 giorni, due ascessi intracistici sono stati osservati nelle pazienti trattate col metodo classico. Dopo 12 mesi, 6 pazienti hanno presentato recidiva di patologia dopo trattamento con metodo classico; 5 si sono sottoposte nuovamente ad aspirazione ed alcolizzazione, questa volta con metodo modificato. Nessuna paziente trattato con metodo modificato ha presentato complicanze o recidive nel corso dello studio. Inoltre, 32 pazienti (14 appartenenti al primo gruppo e 18 al secondo) sono divenute gravide dopo trattamento e hanno portato tutte a termine la gravidanza. Conclusioni L'aspirazione e l'alcolizzazione con tecnica modificata delle cisti endometriosiche rappresenta un'alternativa sicura all'intervento chirurgico, con una minore incidenza di complicanze e recidive ed un significativo risparmio della follicologenesi.
