Abstract: Endometriosis is a common disease afflicting a significant proportion of women of reproductive age. It affects patients quality of life, reduces their fecundity and leads to infertility. Endometriosis associated infertility is mainly treated with laparoscopic surgery and assisted reproductive technology(ART). The optimal treatment strategy depends on the severity of the disease and the condition of patients. Controversy still remains as how and when to take therapeutic measures.

Key words: Endometriosis, Infertility, Assisted reproductive technique, Female
