In Sweden, ART-treatment costs for women under the age of forty and without having children in current relationship are covered by the tax-funded healthcare system, with up to 3 IVF\u002FICSI treatments, given that they are considered medically meaningful, and that each stimulation is started before the woman turns 40 years of age (39). In case the treatment results in cryopreserved embryos, it is planned that they should be transferred prior to the start of any new COS.

Surgery will be conducted according to the ESHRE recommendations of surgery in endometriomas and deep endometriosis (32, 33). Surgery should be multidisciplinary when needed (colorectal surgeons and urologists). The goal of the procedure is to remove as many endometriotic lesions as possible while also minimizing negative impact on organ function, since endometriosis is a benign disease. Rectal endometriosis will be removed with rectal shaving, discoid or segmental resection depending on the size and placement of the lesion in the rectal wall. Laparoscopic cyst enucleation is considered the \"golden standard\".

It is strongly associated with pelvic pain and infertility. Women with advanced stages of the disease (stage III-IV) have markedly reduced fertility compared with the general population. A Swedish study has shown that about 22% of women undergoing treatments with assisted reproductive technologies (ART), such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), are affected by endometriosis.\n\nThe optimal management of women with advanced endometriosis and infertility remains uncertain. Some clinicians advocate proceeding directly to IVF, while others suggest surgical removal of endometriosis lesions prior to IVF in order to improve the chances of pregnancy. Currently, evidence is limited to a small number of observational studies. Two observational studies and one meta-analysis have suggested that surgery before IVF in women with deep endometriosis may increase both pregnancy and live birth rates compared with IVF alone. However, no randomized controlled trial (RCT) has yet been conducted to answer this important clinical question.\n\nThis study will be the first national multicenter randomized controlled trial to compare surgery followed by IVF with IVF alone in women with advanced endometriosis and infertility. All Swedish centers for highly specialized endometriosis surgery and fertility treatment will participate.\n\nEligible participants are women under 39 years of age with stage III-IV endometriosis who seek fertility treatment. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of two groups:\n\n* Surgery prior to IVF (laparoscopic excision of endometriosis lesions, followed by IVF).\n* Direct IVF without prior surgery. The primary outcome is the cumulative live birth rate within three years of randomization and initiation of the allocated treatment. Secondary outcomes include pregnancy rates, time to pregnancy, treatment-related complications, patient-reported quality of life, and cost-effectiveness.\n\nOur hypothesis is that surgery before IVF will lead to a higher cumulative live birth rate compared with IVF without prior surgery in women with advanced endometriosis.\n\nThe results of this trial are expected to have significant impact on clinical practice and international guidelines. Regardless of outcome, the study will provide robust evidence to guide treatment strategies, improve the care of women with advanced endometriosis and infertility, and potentially reduce healthcare costs by identifying the most effective pathway to achieving pregnancy.",[145,146],"Endometriosis","Infertility Assisted Reproductive Technology",[145,148,149,150],"Infertility","Surgery","ART","2025-11-16",{"date":153,"type":154},"2025-11-20","ACTUAL",{"date":156,"type":154},"2025-10-06",{"date":158,"type":139},"2031-09-22",{"name":5,"class":6},4]
