Abstract:
We performed a retrospective three-dimensional ultrasound evaluation of the ovarian features in ten women with no previous ovarian surgery who benefited from ablation by plasma energy for unilateral endometriomas greater than to 30 mm in diameter. Values of ovarian volume and antral follicle count in operated ovaries were decreased by an average 12% and 18%, respectively, suggesting that endometrioma ablation using plasma energy spares the underlying ovarian parenchyma.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
