title: [The effects of micro-laparoscopic ovarian electrocautery as a method of polycystic ovary syndrome treatment].
abstract: The paper concerns the treatment results of 113 women with PCO-S by laparoscopic (102) and microlaparoscopic (11) ovarian electrocautery. All of them were qualified for operation on the basis of the following criteria: menstrual cycle disturbances (oligo-/amenorrhoea), anovulation, hirsutism, obesity, LH/FSH ratio > 2 and when more than 10 follicles of < 8 mm diameter are seen in the ovary under theca albuginea in USG examination. During the one year after operation these women were observed. In the first group (patients after laparoscopy) ovulation occurred in 86 (84%) and pregnancy in 54 (53%); accordingly in the second group (women after microlaparoscopy) ovulation occurred in 9 (83%) and pregnancy in 4 (45%). The treatment results by microlaparoscopic and laparoscopic ovarian electrocautery are similar, but the method by microlaparoscopy is easier to carry out in selected cases.
