Being overweight (RR 1.0, 95% CI 0.4-2.2) or obese (RR 1.2, 95% CI 0.4-3.1) did not affect the likelihood of live birth. Surgery within 24 months of infertility diagnosis did not increase the likelihood of a successful delivery (RR 2.0, 95% CI 0.9-4.5). The pregnancy rate for AAGL Stage I, II, III, IV endometriosis were 42% (18/32), 32% (8/25), 46% (6/13), 42% (8/19) respectively. The logistic regression model indicated that live birth after spontaneous conception was significantly associated with younger age at the time of surgery and complete excision of endometriosis. Patients were 3.2 times (95% CI 1.3-7.8) more likely of having a live birth if they were less than 35 years old at the time of surgery. Complete excision of endometriosis conferred a 4.1-fold (95% CI 1.1-14.9) increased likelihood of a live birth.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Two factors increased the likelihood of live birth after endometriosis surgery: age at the time of surgery and complete excision of endometriosis. We cautiously recommend patients attempting spontaneous conception find an endometriosis surgeon proficient in excisional techniques.
