This review article focuses on fertility preservation strategies in women with severe ovarian endometriosis, describing how endometriosis is managed across objectives including fertility preservation, pain reduction, and delaying recurrence. It summarizes evidence that, in moderate and severe disease, medico-surgical management remains a standard approach, while reporting that laparoscopic cystectomy for endometriomas is associated with low ovarian reserve, attributed to excision of normal ovarian tissue along with the cyst wall. A key caveat is that the paper synthesizes published reports rather than presenting new patient-level outcomes, and it emphasizes the need for experienced surgeons to optimize ovarian tissue preservation. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically addresses fertility preservation in women with ovarian (endometriosis-related) endometriomas and ovarian reserve impacts of cystectomy.
