Editor Simone Ferrero Department of Neurology, Rehabilitation, Ophthalmology, Genetics, Maternal and Child Health (DINOGMI) IRCCS Ospedale Policlinico San Martino, University of Genoa Genova, Italy v In addition to the distressing pain symptoms, individuals afflicted with endometrio- sis often face the challenge of infertility, a condition that necessitates precise diag - nosis and adept management to optimize their chances of conception. The intricate nature of endometriosis-related infertility, stemming from the distortion of pelvic anatomy, inflammatory processes within the pelvic cavity, and adverse effects on ovarian follicles and ovulation, remains only partially understood. This book delves into the nuanced impact of various manifestations of endometriosis, including ovar- ian endometriomas and deep infiltrating endometriosis, on reproductive potential. A significant emphasis is placed on the utilization of ultrasonography for the diagnosis of endometriosis in individuals struggling with infertility, alongside advanced imaging techniques to evaluate tubal patency. The therapeutic landscape, encompassing intrauterine insemination and in vitro fertilization, will be explored in depth to illuminate their roles in overcoming endometriosis-induced reproductive hurdles. Furthermore, the consequences of surgical intervention for endometriosis on natural fertility and the efficacy of assisted reproductive technologies will be thoroughly examined. Additionally, this volume sheds light on the influence of endometriosis on endo- metrial receptivity and introduces the critical concept of fertility preservation for women diagnosed with this condition. Designed as an essential resource, this book aims to equip reproductive surgeons, sonographers, and IVF specialists with com - prehensive insights into the multifaceted relationship between endometriosis and infertility. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the esteemed international experts whose con- tributions have enriched this work, making it an indispensable tool for healthcare professionals dedicated to the care of those affected by endometriosis.
