In this video, Dr. Karli Provost Goldstein, a board-certified minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon, explains how precision endometriosis surgery may support egg quality for patients undergoing IVF.
When endometriosis disrupts the pelvic environment, it can impact egg development—even when imaging looks “normal.” Dr. Goldstein walks through how laparoscopic excision, when done carefully and without burning the ovary, may reduce inflammation and improve conditions for fertilization.
She shares key points on:
- Why avoiding cautery on the ovarian bed is critical to protecting egg reserve
- How deep endometriosis can influence ovarian response, egg quality, and embryo development
- What role timing plays when deciding between surgery and egg retrieval
- How expert surgical planning can preserve both fertility and ovarian health
For patients facing unexplained infertility or IVF challenges, this conversation sheds light on how the right surgical approach can restore function without harming delicate ovarian tissue.
