Does anyone know how effecitve the surgery is. As in what percentage of women are then able to go on to have successful pregnancies and how long it usually takes them to get pregnant? She has been trying for a baby for almost five years.

Sometimes the surgery can be done with a tiny incision through the belly button. Leaving just a tiny spot scar. She will most likely have far less cramping and clotting after the surgery. Will have to follow up to be sure everything is cleared and not clotting up again.
Pregnancy is still possible it just takes a little bit longer to conceive. Her doctor should explain all consequences before surgery and what her options are.
There is plenty on-line resources for reference.

I know one person who tried for a bit longer than your friend..almost six years. She just had a 10 lb. baby boy a couple days ago. She refused a hysterectomy because she wanted to have a baby.
My sister had two kids; her endo was discovered afterward. She had to have a partial hysterectomy, so no more children for her.
My best friend has it as well (!)...she had the surgery to burn the scar tissue and it was effective as far as pain relief but she is not trying to get pregnant, so...
Hope all this helps. Good luck to your friend; I don't think it is impossible. Tell her to keep on trying.

I was diagnosed with endo 6 years ago. I had 2 children prior to the diagnosis. I am currently pregnant with my third child after 2 years of trying. I had one surgery and 2 cycles of depo-lupron before a successful pregnancy. Keep trying and dont feel frustrated it will happen when god wants it to.

I have a friend who has endomitriosis- She found it a little more difficult to get pregnant, but she's got two beautiful children now.
This happened over the course of 4 years.

If you are talking about the surgery I think you are they recommend you not get pregnant. If you were to get pregnant you would need to have a c-section if you carried to term and would need a hysterectomy. If this is a different surgery than I am not sure.
I had the walls of my uterus burned and can no longer have children.

Many women actually conceive with endometriosis. I had a mild case of it, which my OB burned off with a laser. I conceived the very next month. I had a full term healthy pregnancy & baby.
