About Ovarian Diathermy

Ovarian diathermy, also known as laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD), is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed by a gynecologist to treat polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) when medication fails. Using a laparoscope, the surgeon makes small incisions in the abdomen to access the ovaries. A specialized diathermy probe then applies controlled electrical or laser energy to create tiny punctures in the ovarian surface. This process destroys a small portion of the androgen-producing ovarian tissue, which helps to rebalance hormones, restore regular ovulation, and improve fertility. It is a keyhole surgery alternative to wedge resection, offering a targeted approach with less tissue removal and a quicker recovery.

Key Highlights

Minimally invasive laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery with small incisions.Effectively restores ovulation in women with PCOS who are unresponsive to clomiphene citrate.Can reduce excessive male hormone (androgen) levels, improving symptoms like acne and hirsutism.Often leads to spontaneous menstrual cycles and improved natural fertility.Lower risk of multiple pregnancies compared to fertility drug treatments.Typically a one-time procedure with potential long-term benefits./ul

Who is this surgery for?

Primary indication: Infertility due to anovulation (lack of ovulation) in women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
PCOS patients who are clomiphene citrate-resistant (do not ovulate with this medication).
Women with PCOS who have a high risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) with gonadotropin therapy.
To help regulate menstrual cycles in severe PCOS cases.
As an alternative to more invasive ovarian wedge resection surgery.

How to prepare

Complete medical evaluation and confirmation of PCOS diagnosis through blood tests and ultrasound.
Fertility assessment to ensure fallopian tubes are open and male partner's semen analysis is normal.
Discussion of all fertility treatment options with the gynecologist.
Pre-operative tests may include blood work, ECG, and chest X-ray as needed.
Fasting for 6-8 hours before the surgery as instructed.
Arranging for someone to drive you home after the procedure.

Risks & possible complications

General risks of anesthesia and laparoscopic surgery (e.g., reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, infection).
Risk of damage to surrounding organs (bowel, bladder, blood vessels).
Potential for adhesion (scar tissue) formation on the ovaries or pelvis, which could affect fertility.
Rare risk of ovarian atrophy (shrinkage) or premature ovarian failure if excessive tissue is treated.
Theoretical risk of reduced ovarian reserve, though modern techniques minimize this.
Possible need for a repeat procedure if ineffective.

Recovery & hospital stay

Hospital stay is usually short, often same-day discharge or an overnight stay.
Mild abdominal pain, shoulder tip pain (from gas used in laparoscopy), and bloating are common for 1-2 days.
Pain medication and rest are recommended for the first few days.
Light activities can be resumed within a few days; avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for 1-2 weeks.
Bathing is usually permitted, but keep incision sites clean and dry.
Ovulation may resume within 4-6 weeks; follow-up with the gynecologist to monitor cycles and plan conception.

Typical hospital stay: 0-1 days
Expected recovery time: 1-2 weeks
