This study found that assisted reproductive technologies cycle outcomes, including pregnancy rates, were similar in women with decreased ovarian reserve secondary to endometrioma surgery compared to those without such a surgical history.

Abstract

Objectives: Data regarding whether the assisted reproductive technologies (ART) outcome of patients with decreased ovarian reserve (DOR) secondary to an endometrioma surgery differs from that of patients with DOR secondary to other etiologies is limited. The aim of this study was to compare the ART outcomes of DOR patients diagnosed by Bologna criteria secondary to a previous endometrioma surgery with DOR patients without a history of an endometrioma surgery. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted in the assisted reproduction unit of a tertiary research and education hospital. Medical records of the patients with DOR were reviewed retrospectively. Group I included 23 cycles of DOR patients secondary to a previous endometrioma surgery and Group II consisted of 260 cycles of DOR patients without a history of endometrioma surgery. Results: No significant difference was demonstrated between groups regarding demographic features except for the age (32 (24–41) in Group I vs 35 (23–47) in Group II, p = 0.031). The data comparing the controlled ovarian stimulation parameters and ART outcomes showed similar results in both groups. No statistically significant difference was found between groups regarding pregnancy rates per transfer (23% vs 22.2 %) and per cycle (13% vs 15.4%) ( p > 0.05). Conclusion: Cycle outcomes of DOR patients secondary to an endometrioma surgery did not differ from that of DOR without an endometrioma surgery history.
