Patient present to us with Obesity, hirsuitism, irregular/delayed cycles, anovulation & Infertility. TVUSG shows peripherally placed multiple follicles with hyperthicosis of stroma & large ovaries. PCOD drilling is indicated in Clomiphen resistant PCOD, where weight reduction & metformin had been tried sufficiently (for six months) in the past. In the past, wedge resection by Laparotomy was routine practice for fertility enhancement. Today laparoscopic PCOD drilling has become very popular fertility enhancing surgery. As compared to Gonadotrophin (pure FSH) injections i.e. ART with super ovulation, PCOD drilling had following advantages: 60-70% Ovulation rate, 40-50% Pregnancy rate, reduced abortion & OHSS following drilling, reduced requirement of CC.HMG/FSH/hCG following drilling. Effect of drilling lasts for nine months. According to the size of ovary 4 to 8 punctures should be made on both ovaries. |
