Abstract:

The question of management of patients with endometrioma-(OMA-) related infertility is still under debate. Endometriosis can adversely affect fecundity by different mechanisms. Such possible reasons of reduced fertility as disturbed folliculogenesis, impairment embryo development including arrest after fertilization and poor embryo quality are observed in in vitro fertilization cycle (IVF). It is also suspected that surgery in patients with OMA prior to IVF is beneficial and could increase the efficiency of IVF. There are controversial data regarding the useness and safety of OMA surgery and its’ influence on IVF outcomes.
