Abstract
During 4066 laparoscopies performed over 21 years among unselected patients, 468 explorative cytopunctures were performed. These punctures contributed to the endoscopic screening of endometriosis by including every ovarian cyst or suspected intraovarian lesion which appeared neither as a growing follicle nor a vascularized corpus luteum. The complete results were as follows:
-
(1)
54 dermoid cysts.
-
(2)
116 seromucoid cysts.
-
(3)
298 haematic cysts or intraovarian deposits:
-
(a)
150 persistent folliculoluteinic cysts;
-
(b)
148 cases of intraovarian endometriosis;
-
(i)
75 cysts surrounded by endometriotic signs;
-
(ii)
73 ovaries without endometriotic signs (31 ordinary looking cysts and 42 invisible intraovarian deposits).
