title: The laterality of ovulation: how far does it matter?
abstract: The laterality of ovulation, or the side at which ovulation occurs, was the subject of much research in the past century, but it was discussed merely as an interesting physiologic issue in all primates. In the last few years, the increasing development of infertility treatment has drawn the attention of researchers to the clinical aspects of this phenomenon. In the review, we discuss the nature of ovulation side and how far it can influence pregnancy outcome in infertile women treated with different modalities.
