description Study Objective: To evaluate the effect of removal of coexisting adenomyosis on fertility outcomes in women with rectovaginal endometriosis. Design: A retrospective cohort study. Setting: A general hospital. Patients: A total of 190 women who underwent laparoscopic nodule excision surgery for rectovaginal endometriosis between April 2007 and December 2012. Interventions: Surgical excision of the rectovaginal endometriosis and coexisting uterine adenomyosis. Statistical analysis for fertility outcomes. Measurement and main results: A total of 119 women desired postoperative pregnancy. Coexisting adenomyosis was found in 21% of the women. The overall clinical pregnancy rate was 41.2%. The only determining factor associated with a successful pregnancy was “age at surgery”. Clinical pregnancy rates with or without adenomyosis were 36.0% and 42.6%, respectively. We found no significant difference in clinical pregnancy rates between the groups. Conclusion: There is a possibility that surgical removal of coexisting adenomyosis positively effects fertility outcomes in women with rectovaginal endometriosis. However, it is also important to note that the age at surgery was a critical factor for successful pregnancy.
