[LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY IN PELVIC ENDOMETRIOSIS AND STERILITY]

Endometriosis associated sterility affects 30%-50% of patients with pelvic endometriosis and the pathogenesis is complicated and controversial. The laparoscopic approach in modern surgical conservative treatment includes laser/diathermy ablation to endometriotic implants, adhesiolysis, excision of endometriotic cyst, cyst wall ablation and drainage. In case of patient with bilateral tubal occlusion, recurrence, or if conception has not occurred by 12 months after surgery, assisted reproductive techniques should be considered.
