title: Effects of ovarian endometrioma on embryo quality.
abstract: The proportions of good, fair, and poor embryos in 13 women with bilateral endometriomas were compared with those of 39 women without endometriomas and were found to be similar (47.2% vs. 41.1%, 28.3% vs. 32.8%, and 24.3% vs. 26.0%, respectively). Therefore, it appears that the presence of bilateral endometriomas during IVF treatment is not associated with reduced embryo quality.
