PURPOSE: To retrospectively evaluate the relief of pain after percutaneous image-guided cryoablation of symptomatic extraperitoneal endometriosis (EE). MATERIAL AND METHODS: From 2017 to 2022, cryoablation of EE was performed at a single institution on a total of 47 lesions in 42 consecutive patients (median age, 37 years; interquartile range [IQR], 33-39.5 years). Patient and procedural characteristics were reviewed retrospectively. Tolerance and outcomes in terms of pain and patient satisfaction were evaluated. RESULTS: The median follow-up duration was 13.5 months (IQR, 1.1-37.7 months) after cryoablation. The median pain-free survival rate was 93.8% (95% confidence interval [CI], 77.3-98.4) at 6 months and 82.7% (95% CI, 58.8-93.5) after 12 months. Pain decreased from a median of 8/10 (IQR, 7-9) on the visual analog scale to 0/10 (IQR, 0-1) at the last follow-up (P < .0001). The median Patient Global Impression of Change score recorded at the last follow-up was 1/7 (IQR, 1-2). The efficacy rate of cryoablation to avoid secondary surgery was 92.8% (39/42) per patient and 93.6% (44/47) per nodule treated. Four patients (9.5%, 4/42) experienced an adverse event in the days following the procedure, and 1 patient (2%) experienced a severe adverse event. CONCLUSIONS: Percutaneous cryoablation is safe and effective in significantly reducing pain and obtaining local control of EE.
