Competing Endoscopic Surgeries in the Era of Assisted Reproductive Technologies: Evidence and Practice

Abstract

Now-a-days the assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are progressing and advancing rapidly. Many reproductive medicine specialists do believe in ART to be the first choice for infertile women regardless of age related issues while gynecologists do believe in reproductive surgery as basic treatment option for these patients. Debate is still unsolved between reproductive surgery or ART which is the first choice for management of infertility. Many issues increase the complexity of the debate as age of infertile patient, ovarian reserve and previous management whether surgery or ART. In this review, both aspects were discussed to clear some aspects of this debate. The objective of this review is to highlight this debate and mention the aspects which help gynecologists and reproductive surgeons to choose the best for infertile patients.
