The dilemma of endometriosis: is consensus possible with an enigma?
Received 27 June 2005; received in revised form 27 June 2005; accepted 27 June 2005.
Many will agree that the use of laparoscopy to diagnose and potientially treat endometriosis in patients who suffer from infertility has been superseded by IVF and sometimes oocyte donation, especially in older patients. The findings of our study add another dimension to management of endometriosis in the setting of infertility and emphasize the importance of keeping laparoscopy in the infertility management equation.
