AIM: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of preoperative hormonal therapy before laparoscopic cystectomy of @entity43 . We identified differences in follicle loss and surgical difficulties with or without preoperative hormonal therapy. METHODS: Ninety-six @entity1 with @entity43 underwent a laparoscopic cystectomy. @entity1 were divided into three groups: control group A (53 @entity1 , 57 cysts) with no preoperative hormonal therapy; group B (34 @entity1 , 40 cysts) who received @entity4396 agonist therapy; and group C (9 @entity1 , 11 cysts) who received @entity1872 therapy before surgery. The medical and videotape records of all @entity1 were retrospectively reviewed. The specimens of @entity46 were histologically evaluated. RESULTS: Mean diameters of @entity46 before hormonal therapy in groups B and C were significantly greater than those in the control group. There were no significant differences in the following: the mean diameter of removed cysts, the revised-American Society of Reproductive Medicine scores, the number of capsules containing follicle(s), and the mean number of follicles attached to a cyst. However, the number of capsules showing @entity82 significantly increased in the preoperative hormonal therapy groups (P < 0.001). Furthermore, the mean operation time of the preoperative hormonal groups was significantly longer than that of the control group (P < 0.01, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Our data suggested that preoperative hormonal therapy reduced the size of @entity46 . However, with similar revised-American Society of Reproductive Medicine scores, preoperative hormonal therapy did not contribute to the reduction of the loss of ovarian follicles. @entity82 resulting from hormonal therapy appears to be responsible for these observations.
