Optimal Tactics of Infertility Treatment in Women with Ovarian Endometriomas
Surgical treatment of ovarian endometriomas prior to IVF decreased ovarian reserve, increased gonadotropin dosage and stimulation duration, and reduced pregnancy rates compared to no prior surgery.

This study evaluated 179 women with endometriosis-associated infertility who underwent IVF at a reproductive medicine center in Minsk (2016–2019), comparing 88 women with ovarian endometriomas (stage II) treated with IVF without prior surgery versus 91 women who had prior surgical treatment for endometriomas before IVF. The surgery group had a statistically significant reduction in ovarian reserve (AMH decreased from 3.5 to 1.6 ng/mL), higher total gonadotropin dose and longer stimulation duration, and fewer mature follicles, oocytes, embryos, and blastocysts at retrieval. Pregnancy occurred less often after prior surgery (34% vs 52.3%). The paper explicitly presents an adverse effect of pre-IVF surgery but is limited by its non-randomized group assignment and the observational nature of the cohort comparison. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on how prior surgery for ovarian endometriomas affects IVF outcomes and ovarian reserve in women with endometriosis-associated infertility.
