چکیده

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the size of ovarian damage caused by ovarian drilling in polycystic ovary syndrome, the amount of inflicted damage was assessed for the most frequently used ovarian drilling techniques. DESIGN Experimental prospective design. SETTING University clinic. PATIENT(S) Six fresh bovine ovaries per technique. INTERVENTION(S) Carbon dioxide (CO(2)) laser, monopolar electrocoagulation, and bipolar electrocoagulation were used for in vitro ovarian drilling. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Amount of inflicted ovarian damage per procedure. RESULT(S) Bipolar electrocoagulation resulted in significantly more destruction per burn than the CO(2) laser and monopolar electrocoagulation (287.6 versus 24.0 and 70.0 mm(3), respectively). The damage found per lesion was multiplied by the regularly applied number of punctures per procedure in daily practice (based on the literature). Again, the bipolar electrocoagulation resulted in significantly more tissue damage than the CO(2) laser and monopolar coagulation (2,876 versus 599 and 700 mm(3), respectively). CONCLUSION(S) Ovarian drilling, especially bipolar electrocoagulation, causes extensive destruction of the ovary. Given the same clinical effectiveness of the various procedures, it is essential to use the lowest possible dose that works; thus, the first choice should be CO(2) laser or monopolar electrocoagulation.

I-12: Optimal Strategy toward Fertility Preservation: In Vivo and In Vitro Post-Thaw Options in Gamete, Embryo and Ovarian Tissue Cryostorage

Background: Oocyte, embryo and ovarian tissue cryopreservation are proposed for fertility preservation to cancer patients who hope to be mothers after getting rid of the disease. Materials and Methods: Embryo cryopreservation is not possible for unmarried single girls without sperm partner and oocyte retrieval is a long time procedure. Thus ovarian tissue cryopreservation is suggested for ferti...

The effect of pentoxifylline on the stereological changes of the vitrified mouse ovarian tissue

Background and Aim: Ovarian vitrification is a technique for assisted reproductive technologies, while ovaries are vulnerable to the damage caused by the freezing procedure. Pentoxifylline has a protective effect as an antioxidant in reducing the free radicals in the culture medium. This study aimed to determine the antioxidant effects of pentoxifylline on the changes stereological vitrified ov...

Comparison between the laser surgical unit and the electrosurgical unit.

Thermal effects on the brain, spinal cord and muscles were studied in electrocoagulation and laser photocoagulation. The experiments were performed on cats and rabbits. The monopolar and bipolar electrodes of the electrosurgical unit were applied to the tissues in comparison with the carbon dioxide laser surgical unit. The experiments were divided into the following two groups: 1) Morphological...

Infectious papillomavirus in the vapor of warts treated with carbon dioxide laser or electrocoagulation: detection and protection.

Papillomavirus DNA has been reported recently in the vapor (smoke plume) derived from warts treated with carbon dioxide laser; this raises concerns for operator safety. We therefore have studied a group of human and bovine warts to define further the potential risk of wart therapy and to test whether a surgical mask could reduce exposure. Half of each wart was treated with carbon dioxide laser ...
