La Prognosi Riproduttiva Nelle Donne Che Ricercano Prole Dopo Terapia Medica o Chirurgica Per Endometriosi: Studio Multicentrico Italiano

The study aims to compare the percentage of women with endometriosis who undergo PMA after medical vs surgical treatment and to describe conception patterns, pregnancy rates, and number of live vessels in women seeking offspring with endometriosis.

Detailed Description

The objective of the study is to compare how many women with endometriosis undergo PMA after medical treatment and how many after surgical treatment , then compare these data with those reported in the literature. Secondary objectives will be to describe the mode of conception ande pregnancy rate and to compare the pregnancy rate from post-surgical PMA observed in the present Italian multicenter study with that observed in the previous single-center study conducted at the Foundation. This will allow to evaluate the impact of 15 years of evolution of surgical and PMA techniques on the reproductive prognosis of women operated for endometriosis and to expand the observation to the whole Italian territory.
