Clinical characteristics and surgical management of endometriosis-associated infertility: A multicenter prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To study clinical, surgical characteristics and the relationship between endometriosis lesion types and conception rate after surgery in infertile women with endometriosis.

Methods

A prospective, multicenter cohort of 204 women (age 20-35 years) with endometriosis was followed up post-surgery between November 2017 and February 2020 at three tertiary-care hospitals.

Results

Based on the severity of endometriosis lesion type, deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) (81/204, 39.7%) was the most common lesion; followed by ovarian endometriosis (OMA) (64/204, 31.4%), and superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SUP) (59/204, 28.9%). Endometriosis patients had a single lesion type (94/204, 46.1%), two lesion types (77/204, 37.7%), or three lesion types (33/204, 16.2%)
