This review evaluates severe endometriosis's impact on IVF outcomes and complications, finding IVF an effective infertility treatment for these patients, though ovarian deficiency risks necessitate early intervention and informed consent.

This paper is a narrative review examining how endometriosis intersects with in vitro fertilisation (IVF), synthesizing existing literature on reproductive outcomes and IVF-relevant considerations in affected patients. It discusses the broader context of knowledge dissemination and publication platforms associated with the journal or publisher rather than presenting a specific new dataset. The key emphasis is on summarizing what has been reported about IVF in the setting of endometriosis, but the paper text provided does not include detailed methods, population characteristics, or explicit limitations that would allow evaluation of the review’s evidence selection. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it reviews endometriosis in relation to in vitro fertilisation.

Abstract

This review aims to evaluate whether severe endometriosis has an impact on the outcome of in vitro fertilisation (IVF), whether IVF is associated with specific complications in this context, whether a specific ovarian stimulation protocol is most appropriate, whether the endometrial condition progresses following ovarian stimulation, and whether endometrial cysts pose a specific problem for IVF. In patients with severe endometriosis, IVF represents an effective treatment option for infertility, as a complement to surgery. The prognostic parameters of IVF are identical to those of other patients. However, the risks related to the severity of endometriosis, particularly the risk of ovarian deficiency, need to be considered. Because of this issue, to which endometriosis-related pain often adds, IVF treatment should be initiated as early as possible, using appropriate protocols and after having fully informed the patient about the specific oocytes retrieval-related risks.
