Aim of the study is to evaluate the pregnancy outcome and recurrence of the disease in patients with endometrioma. All patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for endometrioma between January 2017- 2020 in Etlik Zubeyde Hanim Women Health Training and Research Hospital, had a stage 3-4 disease, and met the inclusion criteria were evaluated. The exclusion criteria were; being menopausal, having laparotomy for endometrioma surgery, or presence of concomitant leiomyoma. The post-operative reproductive outcome and the recurrence rate were evaluated. Out of the 97 patients recruited, 57 (58.8%) were followed up for infertility, while the remaining forty had no desire for future pregnancy. Sixty-seven patients had elective surgery, and 30 (30.9%) underwent emergency surgery. Pregnancy was achieved in 18 (31.5%) within 3-18 months (8.94±4.54) after surgery, of which seven (38.8%) were spontaneous pregnancies while 11 had pregnancy through assisted reproductive techniques. The live birth rate was 88.8%, thirteen term delivery. Out of 97 patients, only four (4,1%) had recurrent endometrioma. The total pregnancy rate was high in the secondary infertile group (44.8%-17.8%), and the IVF pregnancy rate (60%) was high in the primary infertile group. Endometrioma surgery can be recommended for selected patients while preserving ovarian tissue.
