To assess the impact of endometriosis on intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcome, we have retrospectively evaluated 980 ICSI cycles, comparing the results of women with and without endometriosis. A total of 101 cycles was identified in which various degrees of endometriosis were involved, and in the remaining 879 cycles, male infertility was the only cause of infertility. Ejaculated spe...

Endometriosis, a highly prevalent gynecological disease, can lead to infertility in moderate to severe cases. Whether minimal stages are associated with infertility is still unclear. The purpose of this systematic review is to present studies regarding the association between pregnancy rates and the presence of early stages of endometriosis. Studies regarding infertility, minimal (stage I, Amer...

Heterotopic pregnancy (HP) is a rare condition, with an incidence of 130,000 after spontaneous conception, which increases to 11,000-1100 following assisted reproduction technology (ART), but potentially life threatening, since the rupture EP may lead major internal bleeding, hemoperitoneum and hypovolemic shock.

To highlight an unusual case of primary omental ectopic pregnancy, and to review the literature surrounding pregnancy after in vitro fertilization (IVF).

The human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) level 9 days ET was 2.2 IU/L appropriate rise. However, wh...

STUDY DESIGN Two month old C57BL/6 female mice underwent either a surgical procedure to induce endometriosis or a sham surgery. Four weeks after surge...

BACKGROUND Women with endometriosis often need IVF to conceive-most women need several cycles of treatment. METHODS To evaluate the impact of moderate to severe endometriosis on cumulative IVF outcome, we carried out an observational study on 98 consecutive women who underwent IVF or ICSI treatment and had endometriosis diagnosed by laparoscopy or laparotomy and classified as minimal to mild ...
