Popis: The recurrence of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) after its surgical excision is a big problem: postoperative treatment is crucial.To compare two postoperative treatments: Dienogest and GnRH agonists.Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT).146 women submitted to laparoscopic eradication of DIE with bowel and parametrial surgery.Patients were randomized into two groups. Group A (The primary outcome was to demonstrate the non-inferiority of Dienogest about the reduction in pain recurrence. Secondary outcomes were differences in terms of treatment tolerability, side effects, imaging relapse rate, and pregnancy rate.Both Dienogest and GnRH agonists were associated with a highly significant reduction of pain at 6 and 30 months, without any significant difference (Dienogest has proven to be as effective as GnRH agonists in preventing recurrence of DIE and associated pelvic pain after surgery. Also, it is better tolerated by patients.
