Ovulation was obtained in 92% of the total series, and pregnancy in 84% of the women with PCOS as the sole cause of their infertility. Additional treatment with clomiphene citrate to the non\u2010responders increased the pregnancy rate to 89% The response to ovarian electrocautery was inlluenced by body weight, with an ovulation rate of 96\u201097% in the slim and moderately obese women decreasing to 70% in the really obese ones. When ovulation was established. the pregnancy rate <jats:italic>per se<\/jats:italic> was independent of body weight \u2010 when ovulation was established. the pregnancy rates of slim and overweight women with PCOS being 92% and 95%, respectively. In the responders (who ovulated following ovarian electrocautery), the annual rate of cessation of ovulation was 3\u20104% only. Even after a period of contraceptive use following the ovarian electrocautery, ovulation was resumed and pregnancy obtained within a few months. Therefore, ovarian electrocautery is proposed as the primary treatment in women with PCOS undergoing laparoscopy for any reason, infertility being a present, future oi hypothetical problem only. When, on the other hand, infertility is not an issue, PCOS <jats:italic>per se<\/jats:italic> constitutes no reason to perform laparoscopy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3109\/00016349409006253","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,11,13]],"date-time":"2007-11-13T19:10:39Z","timestamp":1194981039000},"page":"407-412","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":88,"title":["Ovarian electrocautery in the treatment of women with polycystii ovary syndrome (PCOS): Factors affecting the results"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"73","author":[{"given":"Halvard","family":"Gj\u00f8nnaess","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0015-0282(16)47534-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0028-2243(89)90197-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"569","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2265.1990.tb03894.x","article-title":"Ovarian electrocautery or hormone therapy in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome","volume":"33","author":"Vaughan Williams CA","year":"1990","journal-title":"Clin Endocrinol"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"585","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2265.1990.tb03896.x","article-title":"Ovarian electrocautery versus human menopausal gonadotrophins and pure follicle stimulating hormone therapy in the treatment of patients with polycystic ovarian disease","volume":"33","author":"Abdel Gadir A.","year":"1990","journal-title":"Clin Endocrinol"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-0528.1991.tb10307.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9378(11)90591-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-0528.1993.tb15214.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(88)91612-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2265.1989.tb00446.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2265.1990.tb00857.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/jcem-70-2-473"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_13_1","first-page":"15","volume-title":"Treat obesity seriously.
