Objectives: To evaluate ovarian reserve according to results of biopsy of ovaries during laparoscopy. To investigate connections between hystologic results, drilling of ovaries and pregnancies.

Methods: We investigate prospectively 74 patients with polycystic ovaries (PCOS) and infertility. Operative laparoscopy have be done in 2006, 2008 and 2009 year in University Hospital "Maichin Dom" Sofia, Bulgaria. All patients had ovarian drilling and biopsy.

Results: Microscopic findings from biopsy of ovary in 74 women with PCOS were divided in 4 groups. In this investigation from 74 women with operative laparoscopy 33 patients (44.5%) were pregnant.

Conclusion: The results of biopsy and registered pregnancies in PCOS patients is very difficult to analyse. Laparoscopic ovarian drilling and biopsy affect ovarian tissue. The ovary probably change own characteristics--ovarian metabolism and physiology are restored and this changes our clinical prognosis for a future pregnancies.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of transvaginal ovarian drilling (TVOD) on IVF outcomes in subjects with clomiphene-resistant PCOS and a history of IVF failure.

Methods: Between 2008 and 2011, 19 subjects with sonographically PCOS and a history of failure to ovulate to high-dose clomiphene citrate were prospectively followed and underwent TVOD at a university hospital-based IVF program.

Results: In 15 subjects who underwent 30 fresh paired IVF cycles TVOD resulted in a significantly higher number of oocytes retrieved (7.

Background: Infertility is a prevalent issue worldwide. Current investigation of female pelvic infertility uses transabdominal laparoscopy, exposing patients to its associated risks. An alternative method is fertiloscopy, comprising hysteroscopy, tubal dye studies, and transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy (TVHL), falling under the broader category of VNOTES.

Article Synopsis
  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder in women of reproductive age, linked to issues like infertility, irregular menstrual cycles, and excess male hormones (hyperandrogenism).
  • The exact causes of PCOS are not fully understood, but factors like insulin resistance, obesity, and genetics are believed to play a role. The condition can present differently in each individual, complicating diagnosis.
