Abstract:Objective To analyze the effects of glucocorticoid combined with leuprorelin acetate microspheres on the clinical efficacy and prognosis of patients with endometriosis (EMS) undergoing laparoscopic surgery.Methods A total of 228 EMS patients admitted to our hospital from February 2020 to March 2022 were selected and divided into the control group and the study group by random number table method, each with 114 cases. Both groups of patients received laparoscopic surgery. The control group was given leuprorelin acetate microspheres via a subcutaneous injection on the abdomen, and the study group was additionally given oral glucocorticoid. The clinical efficacy was evaluated after 3 months of continuous treatment. The clinical efficacy, uterine artery hemodynamics, sex hormones, inflammatory factors and adverse drug reactions were compared between the two groups. The rates of disease recurrence and successful pregnancy during follow-up were compared between the two groups.Results The overall effective rate of the study group was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). The differences of uterine artery peak systolic velocity (PSV), pulsation index (PI) and resistance index (RI), and those of the levels of estradiol (E2), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), interleukin-4 (IL-4), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and IL-17 before and after treatment in the study group were greater than those in the control group (P < 0.05). There was no difference in the overall incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (P > 0.05). The recurrence rate of the study group was lower than that of the control group, and the success rate of pregnancy of the study group was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05).Conclusions In EMS patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery, glucocorticoid combined with leuprorelin acetate microspheres can enhance the therapeutic efficacy, improve the uterine artery hemodynamics and the levels of sex hormones, inhibit the expressions of inflammatory factors, increase the postoperative success rate of pregnancy, and reduce the risk of disease recurrence with few safety concerns.
