Endometriose & offene Tuben – eine Indikation für IVF?, für IUI?
This paper examines endometriosis and infertility, finding that endometriosis reduces fertility by approximately 50% due to functional and mechanical issues.

This paper discusses fertility outcomes in women with endometriosis-related fertility disorders, focusing on the roles of diagnostic laparoscopy, ovary stimulation with clomiphene or gonadotropins, tubal function, and different assisted reproduction strategies (homologous insemination/IUI versus IVF). It reports that diagnostic laparoscopy often finds endometriosis and tubal adhesions even when mild disease is present, and that laparoscopic removal of endometriosis lesions can improve fertility, while chronic inflammatory activity of active lesions may underlie reduced fertility; it also notes that endometriosis-associated tubal functional defects can occur even when dye studies show tubal patency. It further states that ovary stimulation with clomiphene/gonadotropins increases odds of pregnancy and may show additive benefit when combined with homologous insemination, whereas post–endometriosis surgery, postoperative GnRHa is recommended only before IVF and medication does not improve spontaneous pregnancy rates after surgery otherwise. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it reviews diagnostic and fertility-management pathways and compares IUI versus IVF in relation to endometriosis-associated infertility, including tubal dysfunction.
