WES Montpellier Consortium

• There is insufficient evidence of benefit of laparoscopic surgery prior to IUI/COS (weak). 50–80%

• GnRH analogue administered for 3–6 months prior to IVF/ICSI in women with endometriosis increases the clinical pregnancy rate(strong). 50–80%

• There is insufficient evidence to support the use of the combined OCP prior to IVF/ICSI (weak). 50–80%

• There are no data to compare the approach of pretreatment with the combined OCP versus gonadotrophin-releasing hormoneagonists (GnRH-a) (weak). 50–80%

• There is no evidence that surgical removal of endometriosis or surgical treatment of endometriomas (by aspiration or cystectomy)improves success rates through IVF (weak). 50–80%

• Ovarian response might be reduced in some women who have undergone surgery for endometriomas (weak). >80%

ESHRE guideline

• In infertile women with AFS/ASRM Stage III/IV endometriosis, clinicians can consider operative laparoscopy, instead of expectant management, to increase spontaneous pregnancy rates (Nezhat et al., 1989; Vercellini et al., 2006). B

• In infertile women with AFS/ASRM Stage I/II endometriosis, clinicians may perform IUI with controlled ovarian stimulation, C– instead of expectant management, as it increases live birth rates

(Tummon et al., 1997).– instead of IUI alone, as it increases pregnancy rates (Nulsen et al.,

1993).

• In infertile womenwith AFS/ASRM Stage I/II endometriosis, clinicians may consider performing IUI with controlled ovarian stimulation within 6 months after surgical treatment, since pregnancy rates are similar to those achieved in unexplained infertility (Werbrouck et al., 2006). C

Human Reproduction, Vol.29, No.3 pp. 400–412, 2014

ESHRE guideline

• In infertile women with endometriosis, clinicians may offer treatment with ART after surgery, since cumulative endometriosis recurrence rates are not increased after controlled ovarian stimulation for IVF/ICSI (D’Hooghe et al., 2006; Benaglia et al., 2011) C

• Clinicians can prescribe GnRHagonists for a period of 3–6 months prior to treatment with ART to improve clinical pregnancy rates in infertile women with endometriosis (Sallam et al., 2006). 10;Coccia et al., 2010; Benaglia et al., 2011). B

• In infertile women with AFS/ASRM Stage I/II endometriosis undergoing laparoscopy prior to treatment with ART, clinicians may consider the complete surgical removal of endometriosis to improve live birth rate, although the benefit is not well established (Opoien et al., 2011). C

ESHRE guideline

• In infertile women with endometrioma larger than 3 cm there is no evidence that cystectomy prior to treatment with ART improves pregnancy rates (Donnez et al., 2001; Hart et al., 2008; Benschop et al., 2010). A

• In women with endometrioma larger than 3 cm, theGDGrecommends clinicians only to consider cystectomyprior to ART to improve endometriosis-associated pain or the accessibility of follicles. GPP

• The GDG recommends that clinicians counsel women withendometrioma regarding the risks of reduced ovarian function after surgery and the possible loss of the ovary. The decision to proceed with surgery should be considered carefully if the woman has had previous ovarian surgery. GPP

Human Reproduction, Vol.29, No.3 pp. 400–412, 2014

ESHRE guideline

• The effectiveness of surgical excision of deep nodular lesions before treatment with ART in women with endometriosis-associated infertility is not well established with regard to reproductive outcome (Bianchi et al., 2009; Papaleo et al., 2011). C

• The GDG recommends that clinicians should not routinely perform surgical excision and ablation for an incidental finding of asymptomatic endometriosis at the time of surgery, since the natural course of the disease is not clear. GPP

• The GDG recommends that clinicians fully inform and counsel women about any incidental finding of endometriosis. GPP
