Reviewer’s report
Title: 
Laparoscopic adenomyomectomy combined with levonorgestrel-releasing
intrauterine system is effective for long-term management of adenomyosis
Version: 
2 
Date:

Reviewer's report:
Group A and B all had significant difference of improving symptoms and there
was also no significant difference in the recurrence rate.
Although they tried to do revision,
I agree that the surgery was effective for symptom control but the results dose
not explain why the authors had to inserted LNG IUD after the surgey.
