Ethanol Sclerotherapy for Endometriomas

All About Endometriosis | Shree IVF Clinic - Dr. Jay Mehta

To all the viewers who are reading this page, it is important to understand that alcohol injection inside an endometriotic cyst is a super specialized surgical procedure, which is recommended for patients who have a low AMH and desire to have future fertility with their eggs. 

The biggest problem as far as doing surgery for endometriosis is concerned is that the majority of the patients tend to get operated by people who have no idea of the disease and as a result of which there is a severe compromise in the fertility potential.

One must also remember that there is a huge association of fertility, compromise, and endometriosis as a part of the disease pathology itself.

Dr. Jay Mehta and team, who handled the maximum volume of endometriosis surgeries across South Asia, use this procedure for alcohol injection, especially when the size of the cyst is less than 6 cm, and once complete mobilization is done in order to ensure that there is no leak of alcohol in the pelvis.

An incorrectly done procedure can cause a severe amount of pelvic adhesions, and this can negatively affect the fertility potential of the patient. 

Patients must also note that Dr Jay Mehta and team use a special preparation of alcohol along with a premixed solution of low-dose steroids and local anesthesia, which is then injected using a special catheter inside the ovary.

After this, pelvic lavage is done, and the collapsed cyst is then suspended along the pelvic wall. This makes it easy for accessibility to that ovary when it comes to doing any Fertility Procedure. 

At this moment, this procedure is reserved for women who desire fertility and have a low AMH, as well as for young girls who have severe endometriosis.

In advanced endometriosis units like ours, we also give the option to the Patient of doing Ovarian tissue cryopreservation using the slow freezing method if they are young and unmarried, along with an additional option of banking the oocytes. For women who are already married, embryo preservation is the most preferred option.
