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.
