1582 Laparoscopic Excision of Endometriosis does not Reduce the Risk of Reoperation within 2 Years Compared with Ablation of Implants

ConclusionThere was no difference in the risk of repeat surgery within 2 years whether endometriosis was excised or ablated. Excision using robot-assisted technique showed a non-significant trend toward a decrease in reoperation rate. In this clinical center, endometriosis ablation and excision are equally effective to prevent repeat surgery. The method should be selected based on surgeon experience.
