Determining the Fertility Benefit of Controlled Ovarian Hyperstimulation With Intrauterine Insemination After Operative Laparoscopy in Patients With Endometriosis

Non-ART pregnancy predictive factors in infertile patients with peritoneal superficial endometriosis

“…In our experience, post-operative ovarian stimulation was associated with an increased pregnancy rate after laparoscopic diagnosis and treatment for superficial peritoneal endometriosis related infertility. Our findings were in line with previous studies [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] and inconsistent with others [28,29]. However, available data have shown major heterogeneities.…”

Management of Infertility in Endometriosis by Operative Laparoscopy and Medical Therapy—Practiced at 3 Different Centres, from September 2005 to October 2007

“…In stage III/IV they recommend postoperative in vitro fertilization. Twelve-month cumulative pregnancy rates in stage I/II were 45% for spontaneous attempts and 42% for COH + IUI, and in stage III/IV were 20% for spontaneous attempts and 10% for COH + IUI [3].…”

Clinical management of endometriosis‐associated infertility

“…Notably, most of the studies were assessed in patients with minimal-mild endometriosis, and there is insufficient evidence to support SO/IUI in patients with severe endometriosis. Gandhi et al [56] demonstrated that COH?IUI cumulative fertility rate was threefold lower in patients with surgically treated stage III/IV endometriosis. However, according to the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) recommended guideline (2014) [57], IUI is only recommended in subfertile women with minimal-to-mild endometriosis, and IUI with controlled ovarian stimulation should be considered within 6 months following surgery in the treatment of infertile women with AFS/ASRM stage I/II endometriosis.…”
