Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the fertility status in women suffering from major postoperative complications following deep endometriosis surgery. STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective study in teaching and research hospitals (tertiary centers) including 23 women submitted to the surgical treatment for deep endometriosis and presenting a major postoperative complication. Postoperatively, women desiring pregnancy who conceived were compared to those who did not conceive using Mann-Whitney test and Fisher's exact test. Main outcome measure included the pregnancy rate among these women. RESULTS: The overall intrauterine pregnancy rate was 47.8% and the live birth rate was 30.4%. There were 10 spontaneous conceptions and 3 IVF conceptions among 11 patients. Women who did not conceive were older than those who conceived (33.9 vs. 29.3 years; p = 0.02). The pregnancy rate after intestinal complications was lower than after urinary complications (33.3% vs. 83.3%; p = 0.04). CONCLUSION: Fertility remains preserved among women experiencing a major complication after removal of deep endometriosis with a live birth rate of 30.4%. Women experiencing bowel complications have a reduced probability of conception compared with those who experience a urologic complication.
