Clinical trials

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare pregnancy rates after different surgical treatments for endometriomas in adult women who have one or more ovarian cysts (endometriomas) larger than 2 cm requiring surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: How many women become pregnant within 24 months after surgery ? What are the birth rates and different types of pregnancies (natural, with fertility treatments, and those continuing beyond 12 weeks)? How often do the endometriomas come back after surgery? What surgery-related complications occur? How do pain levels change after treatment? Researchers will compare different surgical treatment groups to see if one approach results in better pregnancy outcomes and fewer complications. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to different surgical treatment groups Undergo surgery for their endometriomas and endometriosis Attend follow-up visits at 3 months and 24 months after the procedure Have their pregnancy outcomes, pain levels, and potential complications monitored throughout the study period

Endometriosis is a chronic benign gynecological condition affecting 5 to 10% of women of reproductive age, often responsible for pelvic pain, digestive symptoms, and infertility, leading to a significant reduction in quality of life. Despite its high prevalence, the long-term outcomes of different medical and surgical treatments remain poorly documented. The IFEMENDO study is a prospective, observational, single-center, non-interventional cohort conducted at the Endometriosis Center of Clinique Tivoli-Ducos in Bordeaux, France. The objective is to evaluate the long-term efficacy of various therapeutic strategies-both medical and surgical-in terms of symptom improvement, quality of life, recurrence, and fertility outcomes. Women with histologically or radiologically confirmed pelvic endometriosis are invited to participate. Data are collected through standardized questionnaires at baseline and at 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 years after inclusion, either via the secure NO ENDO online platform or in paper form. The study will contribute to a better understanding of the natural history of endometriosis and the long-term effectiveness of different treatment approaches, ultimately supporting improvements in clinical management and patient care.
