121 women with polycystic ovarian syndrome and clomiphene citrate resistance underwent laparoscopic ovarian cautery, 63 patients were type i or typical pcos with ovarian volume >8ml and 58 patients were type ii pcos with ovarian volume <8ml. serum concentrations of luteinizing hormone (lh), follicular stimulating hormone (fsh), prolactin (prl), testosterone (t), and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfa...

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is defined using the Rotterdam criteria. PCOS affects 5%–15% of females reproductive age and first cause infertility due to anovulation. The aim this work was predict success laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) or redrilling in PCOS. Methods: This observational study carried out on 50 female cases childbearing with BMI range from 18-28Kg/m2, > 3 year...

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 electro...

isolated fallopian tube torsion is rare and often difficult to diagnose. definitive diagnosis is always made at laparoscopic or via laparotomy exploration performed for suspected ovarian torsion. early diagnosis and conservative laparoscopic treatment especially in a reproductive age woman is warranted as a means of preserving fallopian tube integrity and maintaining fertility. here, we describ...

BACKGROUND Currently, there is an uncertainty about the impact of laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) on the natural history of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). This longitudinal follow-up study was undertaken to investigate the long-term effects of LOD. METHODS The study included 116 anovulatory PCOS women who underwent LOD between 1991 and 1999 (study group) and 34 anovulatory PCOS women...

Results: Follow-up data, which were available for 181 patients, showed a spontaneous ovulation rate of 70.1%, cumulative ovulation rate of 98.3%, and pregnancy rate of 84.5%. Women who conceived following surgery were obese, had higher pre-operative luteinizing hormone (LH) levels, were younger and were more likely to have typical ultrasonographic features of polycystic ovarian disease. Logisti...

background: the purpose of this study was to assess the vasopressin effect on operation time and the need for electrocauterization frequency and ovarian reserve during laparoscopic stripping of ovarian endometriomas. methods: this was a randomized prospective clinical trial, in which twenty patients between 18-35 years with unilateral endometriomas were randomly divided in two groups of cases a...

Surgical ovarian wedge resection was the first established treatment for women with anovulatory polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) but was largely abandoned both due to the risk of postsurgical adhesions and the introduction of medical ovulation induction. Laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) is an alternative method to induce ovulation in PCOS patients with clomiphene citrate resistance instead o...
