Role of laparoscopic treatment of endometriosis in patients with failed in vitro fertilization cycles
Abstract
Objective: To report our experience in patients with previous IVF failures who conceived after laparoscopic treatment of endometriosis.
Design: Retrospective case series.
Setting: Tertiary center IVF and endoscopy programs.
Patient(s): Infertility patients with history of prior IVF failures.
Intervention(s): Laparoscopic evaluation and treatment of endometriosis by the same surgeon.
Main outcome measure(s): Occurrence of conception after laparoscopic treatment of endometriosis.
Result(s): Of 29 patients with prior IVF failures, 22 conceived after laparoscopic treatment of endometriosis, including 15 non-IVF pregnancies and 7 IVF pregnancies.
Conclusion(s): In the absence of tubal occlusion or severe male factor infertility, laparoscopy may still be considered for the treatment of endometriosis even after multiple IVF failures.
