The aim of the study was to evaluate the pregnancy rate after laparoscopic treatment of endometriosis. 48 infertile women, underwent laparoscopic treatment of endometriosis. Stage of endometriosis (rAFSC) was as follow: 6.5% of patients had stage I, 2.1% stage II, 61% stage III and 30.4% stage IV. The follow-up was at least 12 months (range 6-60 months). Two patients were lost to follow-up. The overall pregnancy rate at 24 months was 69,5%. In conclusion, laparoscopic treatment of endometriosis enhanced fertility and the pregnancy rate is the highest in the first year after surgery.
