The Fertility Outcomes OF Endometriosis Post-Surgery Over A Long Term Over Lifespan as Per Phenotypes, Age: A Short Communication
This retrospective study of Finnish patients found that 54.1% achieved live births after endometriosis surgery, with peritoneal phenotypes showing better prognosis than ovarian or deep infiltrating types, while age and phenotype influenced outcomes.

This short communication presents retrospective data from a Finnish cohort to evaluate long-term fertility outcomes following surgical diagnosis of endometriosis. The study tracked patients over their reproductive lifespan and found that 54.1% achieved a live birth after infertility treatment, with peritoneal endometriosis showing a more favorable prognosis compared to ovarian or deep infiltrating forms. Age and specific phenotypes were identified as significant factors influencing these results, though the authors explicitly note limitations in drawing causal conclusions about surgery improving fertility due to missing variables. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically analyzing how different disease phenotypes and patient age correlate with live birth rates after surgical intervention.
