[Ovarian drilling by fertiloscopy: feasibility, results and predictive values].

Objectives: The aims of this study were to assess the effectiveness of the ovarian drilling, compare the techniques by fertiloscopy or by laparoscopy, and search for prognostic factors of success.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective study focused on 154 ovarian drilling carried out between June 1998 and December 2010 where the drilling has been proposed after failure of the clomifene and before stimulation by FSH among PCOS patients.

Results: The post-drilling ovulation rate is 62%.

[Reduction of multiple pregnancies in ART with large SET procedures over the period 2001-2010].

This strategy was started in 2002 including transfer of one embryo for women less than 35 years with a least two good quality embryo during their first or second attempts.

Patients And Methods: Retrospective study including all IVF cycles performed in the IVF centre of Clermont-Ferrand University Hospital from 01/01/2001 to 31/12/2010.

[Factors affecting the cumulative live birth rate in IVF cycles. Retrospective analysis of a 1001 couples cohort].

Objective: To analyze the different factors influencing real and theoretical cumulative live birth rates following in vitro fertilization.

Patients And Methods: Retrospective study of 1001 couples starting an IVF/ICSI cycle between 2004 and 2006 that were followed-up after all their attempts. All abandoned cycles were taken in account.
