The second-look laparoscopy for evaluation of the result of medical treatment of endometriosis should not be performed during ovarian suppression
Open accessAbstract
Some authors have evaluated the efficacy of medical treatment for endometriosis by SLL at termination of therapy. The appearance of endometriotic lesions depends on ovarian activity. We studied the appearance of endometriotic lesions at SLL during the last week of treatment with danazol and compared it with the appearance of SLL in the second cycle after the end of treatment. A difference was noted and was attributed to the effect of stimulation of the endometriotic foci by ovarian activity. Danazol does not eradicate endometriosis. When suppression is discontinued, the disease will return with time. We conclude that performing an SLL during ovarian suppression, for evaluation of the effect of medical therapy of endometriosis, is a misleading procedure.

In the citing paper
“for the present the therapeutic target is not endometriosis cytoreduction, but suppression, which implies the survival of ectopic implants independently of the drug type, dosage, and duration of use (Evers, 1987)”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
