Pregnancy outcomes in women with history of surgery for endometriosis
Fertility and Sterility Apr 23, 2020
Farella M, Chanavaz-Lacheray I, Verspick E, et al. - Researchers investigated if and how history of surgery for endometriosis is associated with adverse obstetrical outcomes. They conducted a retrospective study using prospectively recorded data from 569 women with history of surgery for endometriosis, postoperative conception, and pregnancy evolution over 22 weeks of gestation. Inclusion of 733 pregnancies was done in the study; of these, 566 deliveries were recorded (77.2%), of which 535 were singleton (72.9% of pregnancies) and 31 twins (4.2%). Analyses revealed increased risk of small for gestational age and preterm birth in women with a history of surgery for endometriosis. A high rate of conception with the use of ART seemed jeopardizing outcomes.
