Popis: BACKGROUND: The stripping technique for endometriomas excision has been reported to be associated with follicular loss. The objective of this trial was to evaluate the presence and nature of ovarian tissue adjacent to the endometrioma cyst wall obtained by stripping with different techniques. METHODS: Forty-eight patients with ovarian endometrioma were enrolled in two consecutive independent randomized trials. Two different techniques were analysed at the initial adhesion site (circular excision and subsequent stripping versus immediate stripping). Two different techniques were analysed at the ovarian hilus (stripping versus coagulation and cutting). Histology analysis was performed in three portions of the cyst wall (initial adhesion site, intermediate part of the specimen, ovarian hilus). RESULTS: Recognizable ovarian tissue was inadvertently excised together with the endometrioma cyst wall in most cases. At initial adhesion sites more ovarian tissue was removed with the circular excision technique (
