Does Surgery Reduce Iron Deposition in Ovarian Endometriomas? – RBMO
Reproductive BioMedicine Online (RBMO) shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Is surgery effective in decreasing iron deposition in the ovarian tissue surrounding an ovarian endometrioma?
The results of new study show that in patients with ovarian endometriomas, the affected-side ovarian tissue demonstrated no reduction in iron content within 3 months of ovarian cystectomy.
The authors say that cystectomy alone is inadequate for complete elimination of local iron deposition, and serial MRI-R2* monitoring could serve as an objective modality for assessing postoperative iron deposition dynamics.
They suggest next steps should investigate the effect of iron deposition on ovarian endometriosis to facilitate the development of novel pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies for the disease.
The full paper is available now to RBMO subscribers from our February issue now.”
