Description: Currently, there is little understanding of precisely how endometriosis lesions cause infertility and a lack of consensus about when surgery is indicated in subfertility patients. This course, led by experienced endometriosis surgeons and reproductive endocrinology and infertility specialists, will present evidence-based data and insight on how to manage endometrioma, tubal disease, deep infiltrating endometriosis, and adenomyosis in the infertility population. This course will use images, videos and case examples to enhance the audience's ability to understand these concepts. Speakers will frame the course with best practices for adopting a patient-centered, personalized approach to treating infertility patients with endometriosis.

Learning Objectives: At the end of this course, the participant will be able to:

1. Objective Develop a strategic approach to management of endometrioma and adenomyosis in the infertility population
2. Objective Discuss when surgery is indicated in the context of endometriosis related tubal disease and deep infiltrative endometriosis in the infertility population
3. Objective Integrate strategies for patient centered counseling about infertility and endometriosis
