Effect of Medical Assistance in the Treatment of Endometriosis After Surgery
This study compared gestrinone, leuprorelin acetate microspheres, and leuprorelin acetate microspheres with an intrauterine device for postsurgical endometriosis treatment, finding similar efficacy and recurrence rates but differing side effect profiles.

This study evaluated postoperative medical management for 80 patients with endometriosis who underwent laparotomy or laparoscopy, comparing gestrinone, leuprorelin acetate microspheres, and a combination of leuprorelin followed by levonorgestrel intrauterine system placement. The researchers found no significant differences in treatment efficacy or recurrence rates among the three groups, although adverse effect profiles varied, with gestrinone associated with higher transaminase levels and leuprorelin linked to more frequent hot flashes. The authors concluded that while overall outcomes were similar, the combined hormonal approach offered advantages regarding liver function preservation and symptom management for long-term therapy. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically assessing adjunctive pharmacological interventions to prevent recurrence after surgical excision.
