Recently endometriosis has been recognized as a cause of spontaneous abortion (Petersohn, 1970; Jones and Jones, 1971; Rock et al., 1981; Naples et al., 1981; Olive et al., 1982). This has important therapeutic implications; treatment of endometriosis in the infertile couple should correct both problems — the inability to conceive and the fetal wastage. The objective of treatment is a healthy newborn.\nPreview\nUnable to display preview. Download preview PDF.\nSimilar content being viewed by others\nReferences\nAcosta, A. A., Buttram, V.
