Background: Endometriosis is a prevalent condition among women, often leading to infertility. Laparoscopic surgery is widely employed as a therapeutic intervention for endometriosis. This study investigated the prognostic factors influencing the outcome of laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 60 women with endometriosis referred for laparoscopic surgery at Amiralmomenin Hospital, Zabol, Iran, between 2022 and 2024. Pain intensity was measured using a visual analog scale (VAS). Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 26. Descriptive statistics summarized the data, while univariate analyses (t-tests and chi-square tests) assessed relationships between variables. Multivariate logistic regression identified independent predictors of pain reduction and pregnancy outcomes. Results: Patients with moderate endometriosis showed statistically significant pain reduction from 8.8 preoperatively to 1.8 at 9 months (p0.05). Conclusion: These preliminary findings suggest that laparoscopic surgery may reduce pain in moderate endometriosis, while the age under 30 may be associated with improved pregnancy outcomes. However, given the study’s limited sample size and wide confidence intervals, these results require validation in larger, multicenter cohorts.
