ObjectivesTo evaluate surgical management and fertility and pregnancy outcome in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).Study designRetrospective file review and follow-up of 74 consecutive women with PCOS resistant to citrate clomiphene (CC) who underwent ovarian drilling by fertiloscopy with bipolar energy, together with hysteroscopic surgery when indicated (Canadian TASK FORCE II-2).ResultsOf 77 files, only 3 women were lost to follow-up. Mean age was 30.2 years (SD 5.3) [29.0–31.4 CI 95%], and mean BMI 25.6 kg/m2 (SD 6.2) [24.2–27.0 CI 95%]. Pregnancy occurred after drilling in 47 cases (63%), spontaneously in 20 (27%), after ovarian stimulation in 5 (6.7%) and after in vitro fertilization in 22 (29.7%). Laparoscopic conversion was required in 5 cases (6.7%), due to failure to visualize the adnexa (n = 3), or pelvic adhesions (n = 1), or uterine hemorrhage (n = 1). Hysteroscopy detected and simultaneously treated a uterine anomaly in 18 of 74 patients: uterine septum (n = 10, 13%), T-shaped uterine cavity (n = 3, 4%), endometrial polyp (n = 2, 2.7%), endometrial hypertrophy (n = 2, 2.7%), and synechiae (n = 1, 1.3%).The mean overall delay to pregnancy was 11.1 months (SD 8.5) [8.7–13.5 CI 95%] and to spontaneous pregnancy, 7 months (SD 7.6) [3.7–10.3 CI 95%]. The mean follow-up was 23.4 months (SD 16.5) [18.1–28.7 CI 95%]. After multivariate analysis, the likelihood of pregnancy was significantly associated with previous ovarian stimulation by FSH (OR = 2.28, 95% CI = 1.08–4.83) and initial FSH level (OR = 0.52, 95% CI = 0.29–0.93).ConclusionOvarian drilling by hydrolaparoscopy is an effective treatment for CC-resistant PCOS. The high rate of associated uterine anomalies justifies simultaneous hysteroscopic surgery.
