摘要
This review discusses the efficacy of a combined, medical (GnRH agonist) and surgical, therapy in endometriosis-associated infertility. Because of the limited information currently available on the activity of lesions in minimal and mild endometriosis, any absolute statement is inappropriate at this time, although some arguments exist in favour of treating endometriosis at laparoscopy. In moderate and severe endometriosis, this review provides arguments in favour of a medico-surgical approach and discusses the possibility of combining medical and surgical therapy.
