Effects of Different Methods of Laparoscopic Ovarian Drilling and its Outcome in Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome [PCOS] is an important and common etiology for anovulatory infertility. Clomiphene citrate [CC] is the first line of treatment. One fourth of females are resistant to CC. Laparoscopic ovarian drilling [LOD] has developed manage CC-resistant cases. However, no co...

Group [I] treated by unilateral cutting LOD. Group [II] treated by unilateral electro- coagulative LOD. Group [III] treated by bilateral cutting LOD. Group [IV] treated by bilateral electro-coagulative LOD. All participants were submitted to history taking, clinical examination, laboratory investigation, antral follicular count [AFC], and transvaginal ultrasound. After LOD, follow up included regularity of menstrual cycle, ovulation, and hormonal assay [at six months after ovarian drilling]. Also, ovulation, pregnancy and miscarriage rates were documented.Results: The study groups showed no significant difference regarding patient characteristics [e.g., body mass index, infertility duration and menstrual cycle history], and hormonal profile before and after LOD. The spontaneous ovulation rate was 40%, 42.0%, 46.0% and 40.0% in groups I, II, III and IV, respectively. The pregnancy rate was 32.0%, 38.0%, 44.0% and 42.0% in groups I, II, III and IV, respectively.in all groups, hormonal profile and AFC showed significant improvement after LOD compared with corresponding pre-LOD values.
