title: The impact of different energy sources on redox balance during endometriotic cyst laparoscopy

description: Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder seen in women worldwide.
 It reduces fertility with significantly changes a woman's quality of
 life. Laparoscopy proved to be standard treatment for endometriosis,
 particularly for endometriomas. Disruption of oxidative stress balance has
 been put in the focus in the recent studies. The aim of the study was to
 follow the impact of cystectomy and compare bipolar and laser
 electrocoagulation on prooxidative stress biomarkers and antioxidative
 capacity. A total of 60 women with diagnosed endometriosis were included
 in the study and divided in two groups according to laparoscopy treatment
 with different energy sources for electrocoagulation. Prooxidative
 parameters (superoxide anion radical (O2-), nitrites (NO2-), hydrogen
 peroxide (H2O2), index of lipid peroxidation measured as TBARS) and
 antioxidative defence system parameters (reduced glutathione (GSH),
 activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), activity of catalase (CAT)) were
 determined spectrophotometrically before and after the surgery. The value
 of H2O2 was decreased in group treated with biporal electrocoagulation,
 while the value of GSH was increased in both groups. The value of O2- was
 significantly decreased in the group treated with laser while SOD activity
 was increased in the same group. The both methods had a similar effect on
 index of lipid peroxidase and reduced glutathione, but when it comes to
 the decreasing of harmful superoxide anion radical and increasing of SOD
 activity, laser electrocoagulation showed better outcome. The role of
 oxidative stress in both, understanding the pathogenesis of this disease
 and as a potential therapeutic target, is certainly of great importance.

 Dryad]([https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.xd2547dwb]\(https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.xd2547dwb\)) This dataset contains biochemical and hormonal assay data comparing the effects of **bipolar cystectomy** and **laser cystectomy** on oxidative stress and endocrine function in human subjects. The study aimed to determine whether different surgical techniques influence oxidative stress and hormonal balance differently in the postoperative period. ## Authors and Affiliations **Igor Gogic¹², Vladimir Jakovljevic³⁴⁵, Marina Nikolic³⁴, Sasa Raicevic¹⁶, Aleksandra Stojanovic⁴⁷** ¹ Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Faculty of Medicine, University of Montenegro, Podgorica, Montenegro ² Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Special Codra Hospital, Podgorica, Montenegro ³ Department of Physiology, Faculty of Medical Sciences, University of Kragujevac, Kragujevac, Serbia ⁴ Center of Excellence for the Study of Redox Balance in Cardiovascular and Metabolic Disorders, University of Kragujevac, Kragujevac, Serbia ⁵ Department of Human Pathology, First Moscow State Medical University I.M.

There are **30 participants per group**, and **there is no missing data** in this dataset. Measurement units correspond to the standards of biochemical assay reporting listed above. ## Experimental context Human **plasma and serum samples** were analyzed from participants undergoing either **bipolar** or **laser cystectomy**. * **Oxidative stress biomarkers** (TBARS, NO₂⁻, O₂, H₂O₂, CAT, SOD, GSH) were measured **before surgery** and **within 24 hours after surgery**. * **Endocrine parameters** (FSH, Estradiol, AMH) were measured **before surgery** and **six months after cystectomy**, between **days 3–5 of the menstrual cycle**. This design enabled comparison of short-term oxidative stress response and long-term effects on ovarian reserve between the two surgical techniques. ## Sharing/Access information This dataset is openly available via Dryad at: 🔗 [https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.xd2547dwb](https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.xd2547dwb) **Other publicly accessible sources:** * None **Data derivation:** All data were collected as part of original experimental measurements.
