Clinical study of effect of laparoscopic diagnosis and treatment on pelvic endometriosis-associated infertility
Laparoscopic diagnosis and treatment of pelvic endometriosis were performed on 314 patients, improving pregnancy rates with no significant difference between stages, though earlier pregnancies and earlier miscarriages were more common.

This clinical study evaluated 314 patients diagnosed by laparoscopy with pelvic endometriosis-associated infertility, staged using the revised American Fertility Society (r-AFS) system (I–IV stages). Under laparoscopic visualization, patients underwent ovarian endometriosis lesion excision, adhesiolysis, coagulation/ablation of pelvic peritoneal endometriosis lesions, and clearing of peritoneal fluid, followed by 36-week follow-up (with ongoing follow-up to 20 weeks for those who conceived). The cumulative pregnancy rates within 36 weeks were high across all stages (about 73–86%) and did not differ significantly by r-AFS stage, while conception occurred mainly before 24 weeks (93.7% vs 6.3% after 25–36 weeks), with 12 miscarriages overall; miscarriage rates were not associated with stage, but early miscarriage (within 12 weeks) was more frequent than later. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it studies laparoscopic diagnosis and treatment outcomes for pelvic endometriosis-associated infertility across r-AFS stages and pregnancy/miscarriage timing.
