Abstract

In the work, the efficiency of treating endometriosis by hormonal as well as combined methods, and employing the operative laparoscopy was evaluated. The study involved 89 infertile women with endometriosis being of various grade of advancement. Sixty women underwent combined treatment according to Samm, the remaining 29 were given hormonal therapy with Danazol and Orgametril preparations. After combined treatment full recovery was obtained in 26.7% of cases, improvement in 40%, but after the use of preparations Orgametril, Organon or Danazol, Winthrop, complete cure was reached in 12.8% of cases, improvement in 31%. Only 8 women became pregnant after combined therapy. Complete recovery concerned mainly less advanced endometriosis, particularly following the combined treatment according to Semm. Early laparoscopic diagnosis increases the chance of curing endometriosis and fertility associated with it.
