Laparoscopic Ovarian Drilling

Ethos Health Care Hospital offers Laparoscopic Ovarian Drilling (LOD) as a treatment option for women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). We are one of the few hospitals in South Delhi that provide this advanced infertility treatment method. Our experienced team of gynecologists and laparoscopic surgeons is well-equipped to perform LOD with minimal risk and discomfort to our patients.

Our highly skilled team of doctors uses laparoscopy, a minimally invasive surgical technique that involves making a tiny incision in the abdomen to insert the camera and instruments. We not only perform the surgery with precision but also ensure that our patients recover quickly and safely. After the laparoscopic ovarian drilling, we monitor the patient’s progress by performing regular check-ups to gauge their recovery and any possible side effects of the procedure. Our dedicated team is committed to providing personalized treatment and care for our patients.

What is Laparoscopic Ovarian Drilling?

Laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) is a keyhole surgery that involves using lasers or electrocautery to create small holes in the ovary. This reduces the activity of the ovaries and helps regulate monthly hormonal changes so that ovulation becomes more regular and fertility increases. Generally, this surgery consists of using heat or laser to the ovaries via a laparoscope (a camera) that is inserted through a tiny incision in the abdomen area, typically just beneath the navel. In some cases, LOD can also help reduce the symptoms of PCOS such as excessive hair growth, acne, and obesity.

How is Laparoscopic Ovarian Drilling performed?

Laparoscopic ovarian drilling is a surgical procedure that uses keyhole surgery to create small holes in the ovaries. This treatment aims to reduce or stop the production of androgens, which are male hormones that can be a contributing factor in PCOS symptoms. During the laparoscopy, an instrument is inserted through a small incision in the abdomen. That instrument is then used to deliver an electric current or laser energy to the ovaries. The heat generated by these methods destroys some of the ovarian tissue, reducing androgen production.

After treatment, patients are encouraged to get follow-up care with their gynecologist and endocrinologist for monitoring hormone levels. Laparoscopic ovarian drilling may take several months to start working and show results, but it can help regulate hormones and improve fertility in women with PCOS. We understand that the decision to undergo laparoscopic ovarian drilling is a difficult one, which is why our team of doctors provides personalized care and counseling to ensure that our patients make an informed decision.

What are the benefits of Laparoscopic Ovarian Drilling?

The most common benefit of laparoscopic ovarian drilling is that it can help regulate hormones and improve fertility. This procedure can also reduce some symptoms associated with PCOS, such as excessive hair growth, acne, or obesity. Additionally, LOD has a much shorter recovery time than more invasive treatments like in vitro fertilization (IVF). This makes it a popular choice for women who are looking to become pregnant without having to go through the lengthy and expensive process of IVF.
