Surgically induced ovulation in the polycystic ovary syndrome: wedge resection revisited in the age of laparoscopy.

Abstract：

OBJECTIVE:To provide an up-to-date comprehensive review of published data on laparoscopic methods of ovulation induction in the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Areas to be considered include the historical background of these procedures, their outcomes as reported in the literature, and their potential adverse effects. Through the careful review of these issues, some recommendations for clinical use and further study are offered. DESIGN:Relevant studies were identified through a the search of a computerized bibliographic database of holdings in the National Library of Medicine as well as the manual scanning and cross-referencing of relevant medical journals. RESULTS:Twenty-nine relevant studies were identified in the English language literature. These studies consist almost exclusively of uncontrolled case series. Pregnancies after laparoscopic ovulation induction procedures have been reported in an average of 55% of treated subjects (range 20% to 65%). Potential advantages of laparoscopic ovulation induction over gonadotropin therapy may include possible cost savings, serial repetitive ovulatory events resulting from a single treatment, no increased risk of ovarian hyperstimulation or multiple gestation, and the prospect for a higher live birth rate owing to a seemingly lower incidence of miscarriage. Reported adverse effects include a high rate of intra-abdominal adhesion formation and a single case of iatrogenic premature menopause due to postoperative ovarian atrophy. CONCLUSIONS:The available circumstantial evidence suggests that laparoscopic procedures designed to induce ovulation may be of value in the PCOS subject who, despite an exhaustive trial of clomiphene citrate therapy, remains anovulatory and is unable or unwilling to undergo gonadotropin therapy. However, because of the risks of postoperative ovarian adhesions, carefully constructed controlled trials must be performed before these procedures can be viewed as efficacious and safe.
