Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialMinilaparoscopic ovarian drilling under local anesthesia in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.
To assess pain control in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who are undergoing ovarian drilling during minilaparoscopy under local anesthesia and conscious sedation and to evaluate the efficacy of this protocol compared with the traditional approach in terms of operative and discharge times, subsequent ovulation, and pregnancy. ⋯ Intraoperative and postoperative local anesthesia plus conscious sedation allows outpatient bilateral ovarian drilling by minilaparoscopy to be performed without general anesthesia. The high pregnancy rates, the simplicity of the method, and the faster discharge time offer a new option for patients with PCOS who are resistant to clomiphene citrate. Moreover, ovarian cauterization can be performed simultaneously with a diagnostic minilaparoscopy and integrated into the infertility workup of these patients.
