In vitro fertilization (IVF) and other assisted reproductive techniques are now fully accepted modalities of treatment for subfertility in our modern world. The indications for IVF have increased with the development of newer techniques suc…

OBJECTIVE: To develop a clinical tool that predicts pregnancy rates (PRs) in patients with surgically documented endometriosis who attempt non-IVF conception. DESIGN: Prospective data collection on 579 patients and comprehensive statistica…

The optimal management approach to the infertile patient with endometriosis requires an evaluation of the extent of disease and the reproductive goals of the patient. The surgical approaches to endometriosis treatment are accomplished by la…

Studies on the respective roles of laparoscopic surgery and IVF in infertile patients with endometriosis and endometriomas are difficult to perform. Appropriate patient management is complex and requires a sophisticated understanding of ind…

Common causes of subfertility include ovulatory disorders, tubal disease, peritoneal adhesions, endometriosis, uterine abnormalities, abnormalities of sperm and advancing female age. Infertility is unexplained after thorough evaluation in a…

Surgical management of endometriosis has assumed a prominent role in treating endometriosis-associated infertility and pain. Given the relative lack of prospective, randomized, controlled studies, firm conclusions regarding optimal treatmen…
