ABSTRACT
AIM:
To investigate the value of tetracycline sclerotherapy for management of recurrent or persisting non-neoplastic ovarian cysts in comparison to the aspiration without sclerotherapy. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
Ninety-six patients with proven non-neoplastic ovarian cysts were randomized into two groups. Group 1 patients underwent cyst aspiration together with tetracycline sclerotherapy (n=48). Group 2 patients underwent only cyst aspiration without tetracycline sclerotherapy (n=48). Then, all patients were followed up monthly with ultrasonography for 12months. The procedure was considered to have failed if the recurring cyst, detected by ultrasound, was 4cm in size or greater.RESULTS:
There were no differences between the two groups regarding demographic data, initial cyst volume and tumor markers. Recurrence rates within 12months were 14.6% in group 1 and 50% in group 2 (P<0.001).CONCLUSION:
Based on the recurrence rates, we suggest transvaginal aspiration together with tetracycline sclerotherapy rather than only simple transvaginal aspiration in the management of non-neoplastic ovarian cysts.
