Abstract
Endometriosis is a significant contributor to female infertility, and its complex nature and varied phenotypes lead to questions regarding the value of surgical management. In this manuscript, we summarize current evidence and recommendations regarding surgical treatment for infertility in peritoneal disease, endometriomas, adenomyosis, and deep endometriosis, and highlight recent evidence regarding perinatal outcomes in women with endometriosis. Our purpose is to provide a concise "user's guide" for decisions regarding the surgical management of endometriosis in patients with infertility and generate awareness of recent perinatal outcome data.
