A case report describes a live birth following radical laparoscopic excision of endometriosis, hysteroscopy, curettage, and tubal patency testing performed without prior detection of an early intrauterine pregnancy.

One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works
