Abstract
Oocyte vitrification is an attractive and efficient option in the long-term management of endometriosis patients. Which women would benefit from banked oocytes when pregnancy is attempted, and whether oocyte vitrification should be carried out before or after the surgical management of endometriosis, is still debated. On the basis of recent data, and in the absence of cost-effective modelling, a personalized strategy should assess crucial variables, such as type of surgery, effect on oocyte yield and the huge heterogeneity of the clinical scenarios possibly requiring surgery. Research into a more tailored approach to maximize the result of each available intervention, e.g. hormones, surgery, assisted reproductive technology or their combination to prevent infertility and reduce the actual burden of personal and societal cost of the disease, is recommended.
