Pregnancy and Obstetric Outcomes in Endometriosis

The topic of endometriosis in connection with pregnancy and childbirth has only become a focus of research in recent years. Although increased incidences of preterm birth, placenta previa, premature placental abruption, gestational hypertension, and peripartum hysterectomy have been reported, the issue of what recommendations for mode of delivery can be offered in patients with deeply infiltrating endometriosis in the pelvis has not been clearly answered. This applies both to patients who have undergone remedial surgery and also to patients with ongoing disease.
