title: Pregnancy following the laparoscopic bipolar electrocoagulation of polycystic ovaries resistant to medicamentous ovulation induction--a case report.
abstract: The case of a primarily infertile patient with polycystic ovaries (PCOS) resistant to medicamentous ovulation induction is presented. The preoperative condition, laparoscopic ovarian drilling using an original technique of bipolar electrocoagulation and consecutive spontaneous pregnancy and delivery are described. This case suggests that bipolar forceps with jaws 1 mm wide could be a useful instrument for laparoscopic ovarian drilling.
