We evaluated the laterality of primary endometrioma and characteristics of patients according to the laterality of recurrent endometrioma in 140 women with recurrent endometrioma after conservative surgery. Histologically confirmed recurrent endometriomas were found on the left side in 49 patients (35.0%), the right in 44 (31.4%) and bilaterally in 47 (33.6%). The sites of primary endometrioma were not associated with those of recurrent endometrioma, and the recurrence rate in the treated ovary (59.8%) was similar to that of the intact ovary (69.0%) at the primary surgery. Proportions of stage IV endometriosis and posterior cul-de-sac obliteration were higher in patients with bilateral recurrence than in those with unilateral recurrence (p
