Assisted reproductive treatment outcomes of women with endometriomas: Either with or without previous ovarian surgery.

The baseline characteristics of the groups were similar. The poor ovarian response rate, defined as the harvest of fewer than four oocytes, was identified in 35.7% and 42.1% of primary and recurrent endometrioma groups, respectively. The implantation (27.2 ± 42.7% vs 24.1 ± 41.4%, P = .74), clinical pregnancy/ET (30.9% vs 27.6%, P = .93 ) and live birth rates/ET (22.1% vs 17.2%, P = .79) CONCLUSION: The ART outcomes of patients with primary and recurrent endometriomas do not seem different in terms of response to ovarian stimulation and live birth rates after ICSI. These results may indicate that the recurrence of the endometrioma might not have a further detrimental effect on ART outcome than the disease itself.
