Abstract
Two groups of infertile women underwent conservative surgery for endometriosis, group I (107 patients) prior to 1970 and group II (138 patients) after 1970. To determine whether modifications to the surgical approach after 1970 further increased the likelihood of conception, postoperative pregnancy rates were examined. The data suggest that postoperative pregnancy rates can be improved by (1) removal rather than "repair" of diseased adnexa if the involvement is unilateral and (2) leaving diseased areas undisturbed where excision or cauterization may predispose to the development of postoperative ovarian and/or tubal adhesions. The current surgical technique (used for group II) is described in detail.
