title: [Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome: is there a place for surgery?].
abstract: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is a iatrogenic complication that could happen during ovulation induction. Metabolic modifications can lead to a third sector and organic failure. Medical treatment, undertaken in first line, may be insufficient. In these cases, invasive treatment, using surgical techniques, in association with reanimation principles becomes necessary. From the simple drainage to final measures for the patient's rescue, this review describes the different solutions and their respective place. Several means exist, but serious evaluation is lacking. Their use should be indicated specifically. Medico-surgical associations seemed to offer interesting results.
