Randomized Controlled TrialPentoxifylline after conservative surgery for endometriosis: a randomized, controlled trial.
To compare outcomes after conservative surgery for endometriosis with and without pentoxifylline and to assess the efficacy of pentoxifylline in preventing recurrence of endometriosis after conservative surgery. ⋯ The use of pentoxifylline after conservative surgery for endometriosis resulted in improved VAS scores at 2 and 3 months after the procedure when compared with patients having conservative surgery only. The longer-term use of pentoxifylline after conservative surgery may improve long-term outcomes after surgical treatment for endometriosis.
