Background: To preserve fertility or integrity of organs was on the rise for the most women with adenomyosis. Adenomyomectomy is now a widely applied conservative surgery, however relapse is a serious problem after operation. Postoperative treatment, such as gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) has been suggested to result in reducing the recurrence rate in patients. However, there is still a lack of evidence from randomized clinical trials comparing the efficacy of GnRHa for decreasing the postoperative recurrence rate. Method/Design:Relapse after conservative surgery combined with Triptorelin Acetate versus conservative surgery only in women with focal adenomyosis is a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial. The primary outcome is relapse accessed with Visual Analogue Scale (VRS) and Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), Pictorial blood loss assessment chart (PBAC) score and the size of uterus and lesion are measured by two/three-dimensional color doppler ultrasonography (2D/3D-CDUS) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The secondary outcomes include quality of life, clinical pregnancy, ovarian reserve, and adverse events, assessing by Short Form (36) Health Survey and Female Sexual Function index, serum follicle-stimulating hormone, estradiol levels and anti-muellerian hormone and so on. All these indexes are measured at 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36 months after conservative surgery. Discussion:The result of this large multicenter randomized trial will provide evidence for one of the strategies of long-term management in focal adenomyosis after conservative operation.
