Description

Laparoscopic Ovarian Drilling (LOD) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to treat women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) who have not responded to conventional medical treatments like ovulation-inducing medications. Performed under laparoscopy, this technique involves creating small punctures in the ovaries using a specialized laparoscopic instrument to restore normal ovulatory cycles. Why Laparoscopic Ovarian Drilling? Women with PCOS often experience irregular periods, excessive androgen levels, and infertility due to lack of ovulation. Laparoscopic Ovarian Drilling works by reducing the ovarian stroma and androgen production, thereby promoting natural ovulation. This procedure is especially useful for patients who: Have clomiphene-resistant PCOS Want a minimally invasive alternative to ovarian wedge resection Seek to improve fertility outcomes with a low complication rate Procedure Highlights by Dr. R. K. Mishra Dr. R. K. Mishra, a world-renowned laparoscopic surgeon, performs LOD with precision using advanced laparoscopic techniques. The procedure is conducted under general anesthesia and typically involves: Making small keyhole incisions in the abdomen. Inserting a laparoscope for clear visualization of the ovaries. Using a specialized cautery or laser to create 4–10 tiny perforations in each ovary. Carefully monitoring ovarian tissue to preserve maximum function. Benefits of Laparoscopic Ovarian Drilling Minimally invasive with faster recovery than open surgery Reduces ovarian androgen levels, improving hormonal balance Encourages spontaneous ovulation in many patients Can be combined with other fertility treatments if necessary Low risk of adhesion formation and minimal scarring Recovery and Results Patients can usually resume normal activities within 1–2 days, and ovulation may resume within a few weeks post-procedure. Fertility outcomes improve significantly, with many women achieving natural conception within 6–12 months. Why Choose Dr. R. K. Mishra? At World Laparoscopy Hospital, Dr. R. K.
