Mild endometriosis is not initially a sterility factor, but if other causes are ruled out and pregnancy fails after 12 cycles with ovulation induction, surgical excision is recommended, especially for moderate to severe cases.

The paper discusses how to treat infertility in women with endometriosis, proposing a stepwise strategy after evaluating and excluding other infertility causes. It states that mild endometriosis should not initially be treated as the sterility factor; if other causes are excluded or treated and no pregnancy occurs within 12 cycles despite ovulation induction, endometriosis should be accepted as causative and endoscopic excision or vaporisation of lesions is recommended. For moderate to severe disease, it emphasizes surgical intervention as the primary infertility treatment, followed by 3–6 months of interval pharmacotherapy with GnRH analogues, then complete laparoscopic or laparotomic “clearance” with microsurgical cauterisation if pregnancy does not occur. If surgery remains suboptimal, it identifies IVF as offering the best chance of success, while underscoring the need for individualized, parallel and sequential use of different methods; the paper is a narrative clinical management overview rather than an original study. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it provides a staged infertility-treatment approach based on endometriosis severity.

Zusammenfassung Eine geringgradige Endometriose sollte zunächst nicht als Sterilitätsfaktor gewertet werden. Sind andere Sterilitätsursachen ausgeschlossen bzw. erfolgreich behandelt und kommt es trotz Ovulationsinduktion nicht innerhalb von 12 Zyklen zu einer Schwangerschaft, muss die Endometriose als Sterilitätsursache akzeptiert werden. Dann ist die endoskopische Exzision/Vaporisation jedes Herdes empfehlenswert. Bei moderater und schwerer Endometriose steht die chirurgische Intervention als Sterilitätstherapie klar im Vordergrund. Nach laparoskopischer Primärtherapie hat sich die medikamentöse Intervalltherapie mit GnRH-Analoga für 3–6 Monate bewährt. Falls keine Schwangerschaft eintritt, schließt sich die komplette Sanierung per Laparoskopie oder Laparotomie unter mikrochirurgischen Kautelen an. Bleiben die chirurgischen Maßnahmen suboptimal und führen sie nicht zur gewünschten Sanierung des Situs, eröffnet die In-vitro-Fertilisation die besten Chancen. Besondere Bedeutung hat die Individualisierung der Sterilitätstherapie bei Endometriose, wobei die parallele und konsekutive Anwendung verschiedener Methoden gewährleistet sein muss. Abstract When endometriosis is present but only a mild case, it should not initially be assumed that it is a factor in sterility. If other reasons for sterility have been excluded or successfully treated and no pregnancy ensues within 12 cycles even though ovulation has been induced, it has to be accepted that the endometriosis is causing the sterility. After laparoscopical primary therapy, pharmacological interval therapy with GnRH analogues for 3–6 months has proved helpful. If pregnancy still fails to occur complete clearance by laparoscopy or laparotomy with microsurgical cauterisation is the next step. If the surgery is not optimal and does not lead to the desired clearance of the site, in vitro fertilisation then offers the best chance of success. Particular attention should be paid to the individual tailoring of sterility treatment in endometriosis, and parallel and sequential application of different methods must be ensured.
