Abstract
The cumulative pregnancy rates in 17 infertile patients with minimal or mild endometriosis who underwent laparoscopic electrocoagulation were compared with those of 20 similar patients who underwent only diagnostic laparoscopy. A life-table method of analysis was used. No significant differences in pregnancy rates was evident at either 6 months (p greater than 0.5) or 12 months (p greater than 0.5) of follow-up. These results question the use of laparoscopic electrocoagulation for the treatment of infertile patients with minimal or mild endometriosis.
