title: [Endometriosis within the scope of sterility treatment].
abstract: Endometriosis is one of the most frequent diseases in connection with female sterility, 3.2 per cent endometriosis was diagnosed in all operative cases from 1964 to 1984 but in all cases of sterility there were 10.8 per cent. Essentially these were cases of severe endometriosis genitalis externa (78.6 per cent) according to the Acosta-classification. The rate of recoquition of endometriosis as a possible reason for sterility has been increased from 2.4 per cent to 9.9 per cent since the general introduction of laparoscopy into the diagnosis of hitherto unsolved cases of sterility in 1980. A combined laparoscopic-hormonal therapy pattern is presented here. A corrected pregnancy rate below 30% after endometriosis therapy indicates that there are much more possibilities for therapy of this diseases.
