Infertility arises mainly due to inflammatory mediators in the peritoneal fluid, contributing to local hypoestrogenism, which appears to exacerbate chronic inflammation and sensitize pelvic nerves. Local hypoestrogenism within endometriotic lesions contrasts with the systemic estrogen-dependent nature of the disease. This localized reduction in estrogen levels, resulting from an altered hormonal response, can contribute to the altered immune response and inflammation characteristic of endometriosis, potentially exacerbating tissue damage, promoting fibrosis, adhesions, and endometrioma formation that distort pelvic anatomy, and affecting fertility. Chronic pelvic pain and dyspareunia further complicate conception in affected women. In vitro fertilization (IVF) and laparoscopic surgical excision of endometriotic lesions are the two primary management options for endometriosis-related infertility, although current data provide limited guidance on when to prefer one approach over the other. It is generally accepted that treatment strategies must be individualized according to the patient\u2019s wishes, symptomatology, age and the preferences of the woman and the couple. Timely intervention and structured follow-up for symptomatic women wishing to conceive may maximize conception rates within two years post-surgery, while minimizing the need for repeated interventions, which should be avoided. On the other hand, first-line IVF is particularly viable in cases of unoperated deep infiltrating endometriosis in asymptomatic women, or for those ineligible for or opposed to surgery. This review aims to evaluate the most recent data on endometriosis-related infertility to identify evidence-based key points that can enhance tailored management in clinical practice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13237349","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,3]],"date-time":"2024-12-03T11:48:56Z","timestamp":1733226536000},"page":"7349","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Combine Surgery and In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) in Endometriosis-Related Infertility: When and Why"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-2773-1375","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Irene","family":"Colombi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular and Developmental Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecological Clinic University of Siena, 51300 Siena, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-2784-7933","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alessandro","family":"Ginetti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular and Developmental Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecological Clinic University of Siena, 51300 Siena, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alberto","family":"Cannoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular and Developmental Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecological Clinic University of Siena, 51300 Siena, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giulia","family":"Cimino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular and Developmental Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecological Clinic University of Siena, 51300 Siena, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-4688-9228","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claudia","family":"d\u2019Abate","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular and Developmental Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecological Clinic University of Siena, 51300 Siena, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giorgia","family":"Schettini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular and Developmental Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecological Clinic University of Siena, 51300 Siena, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matteo","family":"Giorgi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Obstetrics and Gynecology Unit, Valdarno Hospital, 52025 Montevarchi, Arezzo, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3235-4378","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diego","family":"Raimondo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Gynaecology and Human Reproduction Physiopathology, Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences (DIMEC), IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliera Univeristaria di Bologna.
