STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the degree of @entity158 relief provided by laparoscopic surgical treatment of @entity43 . DESIGN: Retrospective analysis DESIGN: Classification: II-2 SETTING: Academic Hospital and affiliated outpatient offices @entity1 : A total of 54 @entity1 from 2004 to 2008 who underwent surgical treatment for suspected @entity43 or @entity43 . INTERVENTION: Oophorectomy MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Preoperative and @entity282 scores were recorded from @entity1 who underwent surgical treatment for either @entity43 . Data regarding co-morbid diagnoses that would contribute to chronic @entity158 (CPP), previous surgical history, surgical complications and pathology to confirm the preoperative diagnosis were also collected. Pathology confirmed that ovarian tissue was removed in 52 of the 54 @entity1 . 40% and 41% of @entity1 with @entity43 , respectively, achieved a 50% reduction of their average @entity158 levels; 50% and 56%, respectively, achieved a 30% reduction in average @entity158 levels. There was not a statistically significant difference in @entity282 relief between the two groups. Cases with @entity43 had more prior surgical procedures (4.8 vs. 3.6, p=.049) and were more likely to have a surgical complication (25% vs. 3%, p=.03) than cases with @entity43 . @entity1 with a 30% or greater decrease in their @entity158 levels postoperatively were likely to have fewer other diagnoses associated with @entity1118 (1.4 + 1.1 vs. 2.1 + 0.9; p=.009). CONCLUSION: Surgical treatment for @entity43 is effective, but is most effective in @entity1 with no other @entity158 -related diagnoses. Thus it is important to thoroughly evaluate @entity1 with @entity43 for other @entity2371 . In almost all cases surgery can be done laparoscopically in @entity1 with these syndromes.
