Laparoscopic Surgery for PCOS
Laparoscopic Surgery for PCOS
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common hormonal disorders affecting women of reproductive age. It can cause irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, acne, weight gain, and excessive hair growth. While most cases are managed through lifestyle changes and medication, some women require surgical intervention when conservative treatments fail.
One of the most effective procedures available today is laparoscopic surgery for PCOS, also known as laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD).
At Solaris Hospital, Thane, our expert gynaecologists and laparoscopic surgeons offer advanced, minimally invasive treatments that help women manage PCOS effectively and improve fertility outcomes.
What Is Laparoscopic Surgery for PCOS?
Laparoscopic surgery for PCOS is a minimally invasive surgical technique performed to treat hormonal imbalance and restore ovulation in women with PCOS.
The procedure involves using a laparoscope, a thin tube with a camera and light, inserted through small incisions in the abdomen. This allows the surgeon to view the ovaries and make precise surgical corrections without large cuts.
The main technique used is called laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) — where small holes are made in the ovarian surface using heat or laser energy. This helps reduce the number of cysts and lower androgen (male hormone) levels, promoting regular ovulation.
Who Needs Laparoscopic Surgery for PCOS?
Laparoscopic surgery is usually recommended when:
• Medications like Clomiphene or Letrozole fail to induce ovulation
• The patient experiences severe or resistant infertility due to PCOS
• There are enlarged polycystic ovaries causing pain or discomfort
• Hormonal therapy or lifestyle modifications do not give adequate results
This surgery is often an option for women who wish to conceive but have not responded to other fertility treatments.
Benefits of Laparoscopic Surgery for PCOS
Laparoscopic ovarian drilling offers several benefits, especially for women seeking pregnancy.
• Restores natural ovulation
• Improves menstrual regularity
• Increases chances of conception
• Reduces androgen-related symptoms like acne and excess hair growth
• Decreases ovarian size and cyst formation
