title: Postoperative endocrine alterations and clinical outcome of infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome after transvaginal hydrolaparoscopic ovarian drilling.
abstract: Transvaginal hydrolaparoscopic ovarian drilling (THLOD) appears to be an effective minimally invasive procedure to induce ovulation in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Postoperative endocrinological alterations following THLOD show significant decrease of serum LH and testosterone concentrations.
