The dilemma of endometriosis: is consensus possible with an enigma? FERTILITY AND STERILITY Nezhat, C., Littman, E. D., Lathi, R. B., Berker, B., Westphal, L. M., Giudice, L. C., Milki, A. A. 2005; 84 (6): 1587-1588

The findings of our study add another dimension to management of endometriosis in the setting of infertility and emphasize the importance of keeping laparoscopy in the infertility management equation.
