RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common reproductive endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. It is difficult for patients with PCOS to achieve weight loss with conventional treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate weight loss and changes in hypothalamic-pituitary axis hormone levels in patients with PCOS combined with obesity after sleeve gastrectomy. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 12 patients without PCOS and 24 patients with PCOS who underwent bariatric surgery at Beijing Luhe hospital from 2020 to 2022 was performed. The study assessed the changes in body weight and hormonal indexes of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis before and six months after the surgery. RESULTS: Patients with PCOS experienced greater weight loss compared to those without the condition. Following surgery, individuals with PCOS showed lower levels of postoperative testosterone, prolactin, and free testosterone indices compared to preoperative levels. Additionally, postoperative LH and FSH levels were higher than preoperative levels. Analysis of thyroid axis hormone levels revealed that FT3 and TSH levels were notably reduced in patients with PCOS postoperatively. Furthermore, growth hormone levels were found to be elevated in patients with PCOS following surgery. CONCLUSION: Bariatric surgery enhances hormone levels in the hypothalamic-pituitary axis in women with PCOS, leading to greater improvements in patients with PCOS compared to those with simple obesity.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of anovulatory infertility. Obesity exacerbates the reproductive complications of PCOS; however, the management of obesity in women with PCOS remains a large unmet clinical need. Observational studies have indicated that bariatric surgery could improve the rates of ovulatory cycles and prospects of fertility; however, the efficacy of surgery on ovulation rates has not yet been compared with behavioural modifications and medical therapy in a randomised trial. The aim of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of bariatric surgery versus medical care on ovulation rates in women with PCOS, obesity, and oligomenorrhoea or amenorrhoea. METHODS: In this multicentre, open-label, randomised controlled trial, 80 women older than 18 years, with a diagnosis of PCOS based on the 2018 international evidence-based guidelines for assessing and managing PCOS, and a BMI of 35 kg/m2 or higher, were recruited from two specialist obesity management centres and via social media. Participants were randomly assigned at a 1:1 ratio to either vertical sleeve gastrectomy or behavioural interventions and medical therapy using a computer-generated random sequence (PLAN procedure in SAS) by an independent researcher not involved with any other aspect of the clinical trial. The median age of the entire cohort was 31 years and 79% of participants were White. The primary outcome was the number of biochemically confirmed ovulatory events over 52 weeks, and was assessed using weekly serum progesterone measurements. The primary endpoint included the intention-to-treat population and safety analyses were per-protocol population. This study is registered with the ISRCTN registry (ISRCTN16668711). FINDINGS: Participants were recruited from Feb 20, 2020 to Feb 1, 2021. 40 participants were assigned to each group and there were seven dropouts in the medical group and ten dropouts in the surgical group. The median number of ovulations was 6 (IQR 3·5-10·0) in the surgical group and 2 (0·0-4·0) in the medical group. Women in the surgical group had 2.5 times more spontaneous ovulations compared with the medical group (incidence rate ratio 2·5 [95% CI 1·5-4·2], p<0·0007). There were more complications in the surgical group than the medical group, although without long-term sequelae. There were 24 (66·7%) adverse events in the surgical group and 12 (30·0%) in the medical group. There were no treatment-related deaths. INTERPRETATION: Bariatric surgery was more effective than medical care for the induction of spontaneous ovulation in women with PCOS, obesity, and oligomenorrhoea or amenorrhoea. Bariatric surgery could, therefore, enhance the prospects of spontaneous fertility in this group of women. FUNDING: The Jon Moulton Charity Trust.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To examine the effect of bariatric surgery (BS) on obstetric and neonatal outcomes in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). METHODS: A retrospective population-based cohort study utilizing the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Nationwide Inpatient Sample database, including women who delivered in the third trimester or had a maternal death in the USA (2004-2014). We compared obstetric and neonatal outcomes between groups in three analyses: (1) Primary analysis-women with an ICD-9 PCOS diagnosis who underwent BS compared to pregnant PCOS patients without BS. (2) Sub-group analysis-PCOS women with BS compared to obese PCOS women (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2) without BS. (3) Women with and without PCOS who underwent BS. RESULT: In the primary analysis, pregnant PCOS women who underwent BS (N = 141), compared to pregnant PCOS women without BS (N = 14,741), were less likely to develop pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) (9.2% vs. 16.2%, respectively, aOR 0.39, 95% CI 0.21-0.72) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) (9.9% vs. 18.8, aOR 0.40, 95% CI 0.23-0.70). In the sub-group analysis, PCOS women with BS, compared to obese PCOS women without BS (N = 3231), were less likely to develop gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, and preeclampsia or eclampsia superimposed on hypertension (P < 0.05). Lastly, PCOS patients with BS had a higher cesarean section rate when compared to non-PCOS patients with BS (N = 9197) (61.7% vs. 49.2%, aOR 1.48, 95% CI 1.05-2.09), with otherwise comparable obstetric and neonatal outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: BS in PCOS patients was associated with reduced risks for GDM and PIH when compared to PCOS controls without BS and reduced risk for gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, and preeclampsia or eclampsia superimposed on hypertension when compared to obese PCOS controls without BS. Moreover, BS was associated with reduced inherent pregnancy risks of PCOS, almost equating them to those of non-PCOS counterparts.

RESUMO

Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinopathy affecting reproductive-aged women. Some retrospective studies with small sample sizes have reported that bariatric metabolic surgery is effective in remission of irregular menstruation in patients with PCOS and obesity. However, the correlation between preoperative body mass index (BMI), postoperative weight loss, and remission of irregular menstruation in patients with obesity and PCOS after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is lack of consensus. Methods: We enrolled 229 participants with obesity and PCOS who underwent SG. All patients were followed up for one year after surgery. Remission of irregular menstruation was defined as a spontaneous consecutive six-month menstrual cycle in one year. Subgroup analysis was conducted using tertiles of preoperative BMI and postoperative total weight loss (TWL)% to determine their correlation with the remission of irregular menstruation after SG. Results: 79.03% (181/229) patients achieved remission of irregular menstruation one year after SG with a TWL% of 33.25 ± 0.46%. No significant difference was detected in the remission rate among the subgroups with different BMI (P=0.908). TWL% was correlated with the remission of irregular menstruation (OR 1.78, 95% CI 1.18-2.69, P<0.05). Conclusions: SG had a significant effect on the remission of irregular menstruation in patients with obesity and PCOS. Preoperative BMI did not emerge as a decisive factor correlated with remission; instead, TWL% showed potential as a key factor.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Women with obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome (OPOS) are at high risk for infertility. However, the reproductive effects of metabolic surgery on women with infertility and OPOS have not been fully elucidated. OBJECTIVES: We investigated the natural conception rates after metabolic surgery, and the variables associated with infertility in women with OPOS. SETTING: Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital, Shanghai, China. METHODS: This study included 72 women with infertility and OPOS who underwent metabolic surgery and were followed up for 4 years after surgery. Finally, 54 patients completed the study. Reproductive outcomes were assessed, along with changes in anthropometric parameters and metabolic indices before and 1 year after surgery (prepregnancy). Logistic regression analysis was used to identify variables influencing natural conception and delivery outcomes. RESULTS: After metabolic surgery, 35 patients (64.8%) became pregnant naturally, while 16 were still unable to conceive naturally. Preoperative body mass index (BMI) tended to be lower in the natural conception group than in the no natural conception group (38.9 ± 6.9 versus 43.6 ± 11.0 kg/m2, P = .070) and there were no significant differences in weight loss between the 2 groups after surgery. Logistic regression analysis showed that the BMI 1 year after surgery (prepregnancy) was an independent predictor of natural conception, and receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that a BMI of 27.0 kg/m2 was the optimal cutoff for predicting successful natural conception after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Metabolic surgery can improve fertility in women with OPOS. Patients with a BMI < 27.0 kg/m2 1 year after surgery (prepregnancy) are more likely to become pregnant naturally and give birth.

RESUMO

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine condition in premenopausal women and is a common cause of anovulatory subfertility. Although obesity does not form part of the diagnostic criteria, it affects a significant proportion of women with PCOS and is strongly implicated in the pathophysiology of the disease. Both PCOS and obesity are known to impact fertility in women; obesity also reduces the success of assisted reproductive technology (ART). With or without pharmacotherapy, lifestyle intervention remains the first-line treatment in women with PCOS and obesity. Bariatric surgery is still an experimental treatment in women with PCOS and subfertility. This review will present an overview of the pathophysiology of PCOS and obesity and the role of bariatric surgery. Although data are sparse regarding the impact of bariatric surgery on subfertility in women with PCOS and obesity, existing studies point to a beneficial role in treating metabolic and reproductive dysfunction.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Obesity is one of the risk factors for polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and weight loss is the mainstay of treatment. This study investigates the effects of sleeve gastrectomy on clinical and paraclinical signs and symptoms of PCOS patients referred to a tertiary hospital. METHODS: Female patients with a definite diagnosis of PCOS and body mass index (BMI) > 40 kg/m2 who were candidates for sleeve gastrectomy were enrolled in this cohort study and followed for 1 year postoperatively. Clinical signs and symptoms of PCOS, sonographic examination, and laboratory hormonal assessments were assessed preoperatively and 1 year following surgery. RESULTS: Fifty patients enrolled in the study. The mean age of patients was 31.69 ± 9.54 years. The mean BMI before and after the surgery was 44.28 ± 3.03 and 29.37 ± 2.41 kg/m2, respectively. Oligomenorrhea was improved in 66% of patients. According to the sonographic criteria, PCOS was improved in 74% of patients. After a year post-operation, while the mean serum levels of the follicular stimulating hormone (FSH), testosterone, and dehydroepiandrostenedione have improved significantly in all patients (p < 0.001 in all), the significant decrease in serum luteinizing hormone (LH), LH/ FSH ratio, and estrogen was only noted in patients with improved clinical response (p < 0.05, p < 0.001, and p < 0.001 respectively). CONCLUSION: Weight loss and improvements in hyperandrogenism following sleeve gastrectomy result in clinical and paraclinical improvement of PCOS signs and symptoms, including oligomenorrhea and ovulation induction.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: For adolescents with suspected polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and severely elevated testosterone concentrations, imaging is recommended to assess for neoplasm. Selective venous sampling (SVS) can be considered when imaging is nondiagnostic. CASE: An adolescent female treated for PCOS had a peak testosterone of 344 ng/dL (11.9 nmol/L). Imaging did not localize a mass. SVS implicated the right ovary as the source of hyperandrogenism. Following laparoscopic right oophorectomy, pathology excluded a neoplasm and confirmed PCOS. She subsequently had rapid and persistent improvement in her hyperandrogenism. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION: Striking testosterone elevation can occur with adolescent PCOS. SVS is a tool for localizing the source of severe hyperandrogenism, yet unilaterality is not always diagnostic of a neoplasm. Unilateral oophorectomy could nonetheless be therapeutic for severe PCOS.

RESUMO

Female infertility is often associated with anovulatory polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), characterized by high serum levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH). Laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) is commonly used to treat PCOS, especially when drug interventions have failed. This study aimed to evaluate the response to LOD intervention in women with PCOS by assessing AMH serum levels and their ability to restore normal physiological menstrual cycle and achieve conception. Seventy-five infertile women (24-41 years old) with body mass index (BMI) ranging from 19.6-35kg/m2 were included in the study. Among them, 57 had primary infertility, and 18 from secondary infertility, with an average duration of 8.6±4.4 years. Baseline levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and AMH were measured, and post-LOD levels of LH and AMH were evaluated. Menstrual cycle regularity was evaluated before and after LOD. Baseline FSH serum level before LOD was 5.2-1.6IU/L. Following LOD, the serum levels of LH and AMH significantly decreased from 14.3±4.1 to 7.8±2.8 IU/L and from 13.7±5.9 to 7.7±3.9 IU/L, respectively (p<0.05). LOD significantly (p<0.05) decreased the menstrual cycles irregularity, such as oligomenorrhea and amenorrhea, from 55 (73.3%) to 22 (29.3%) women and from 2 (2.7%) to 0 (0%) women respectively. Moreover, regular menstrual cycles significantly (p<0.05) increased from 18 (24%) to 53 (70.7%) women. Importantly, 68% of LOD-treated women showed a significant increase in pregnancy rates, with 52.9%, 35.3%, and 11.8% achieving pregnancy within 3, 6, and 9 months after LOD, respectively (p<0.05). Moreover, spontaneous ovulation was observed in 7/75 (9.3%) women within 90 days after LOD, and 71.4% achieved pregnancy. These findings highlight the success of laparoscopic ovarian drilling as an intervention for PCOS, with AMH serving as a reliable test to assess the response to LOD treatment.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of sleeve gastrectomy (SG) on patients with obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science to identify relevant studies published prior to December 2, 2022. Meta-analysis was performed on menstrual irregularity, total testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), glucolipid metabolism indicators, and body mass index (BMI) following SG. RESULTS: Six studies and 218 patients were included in the meta-analysis. Following SG, menstrual irregularity significantly decreased (odds ratio [OR] 0.03; 95% confidence intervals [CIs], 0.00-0.24; P=0.001). Additionally, SG can lower total testosterone levels (MD -0.73; 95% CIs -0.86-0.60; P< 0.0001), as well as BMI (MD -11.59; 95% CIs -13.10-10.08; P<0.0001). A significant increase was observed in the levels of SHBG and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) after SG. In addition to reducing fasting blood glucose, insulin, triglycerides (TG), and low-density lipoprotein levels, SG significantly reduced low-density lipoprotein levels as well. CONCLUSIONS: Following SG, we firstly demonstrated significant improvements in menstrual irregularity, testosterone and SHGB levels, glycolipid metabolism indicators, and BMI. Therefore, SG may be considered as a new option for the clinical treatment of patients with obesity and PCOS.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent hormonal disorder distinguished by a persistent absence of ovulation. Ovarian drilling is a recognized therapeutic approach for PCOS patients who are unresponsive to medication and can be performed through invasive laparoscopic access or less-invasive transvaginal access. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the efficacy of transvaginal ultrasound -guided ovarian needle drilling with conventional laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) in patients with PCOS. METHODS: PUBMED, Scopus, and Cochrane databases were systematically searched for eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from articles published from inception to January 2023. We include RCTs of PCOS that compared transvaginal ovarian drilling and LOD and reported on ovulation and pregnancy rates as the main outcome variable. We evaluated study quality using the Cochrane Risk of bias 2 tool. A random-effects meta-analysis was performed and the certainty of the evidence was assessed according to the GRADE approach. We registered the protocol prospectively in PROSPERO (CRD42023397481). RESULTS: Six RCTs including 899 women with PCOS met the inclusion criteria. LOD was found to significantly reduce anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) (SMD: -0.22; 95% CI: -0.38, -0.05; I2 = 39.85%) and antral follicle count (AFC) (SMD: -1.22; 95% CI: -2.26, -0.19; I2 = 97.55%) compared to transvaginal ovarian drilling. Our findings also indicated that LOD significantly increased the ovulation rate by 25% compared to transvaginal ovarian drilling (RR: 1.25; 95% CI: 1.02, 1.54; I2 = 64.58%). However, we found no significant difference between the two groups in terms of follicle stimulating hormone (SMD: 0.04; 95% CI: -0.26, 0.33; I2 = 61.53%), luteinizing hormone (SMD: -0.07; 95% CI: -0.90, 0.77; I2 = 94.92%), and pregnancy rate (RR: 1.37; 95% CI: 0.94, 1.98; I2 = 50.49%). CONCLUSION: LOD significantly lowers circulating AMH and AFC and significantly increases ovulation rate in PCOS patients compared to transvaginal ovarian drilling. As transvaginal ovarian drillingremains a less-invasive, more cost-effective, and simpler alternative, further studies are warranted to compare these two techniques in large cohorts, with a particular focus on ovarian reserve and pregnancy outcomes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Obesity can negatively influence quality of life (QoL). Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), associated with obesity, presents with sub-fertility, hyperandrogenism, and/or insulin resistance. These features can also negatively influence QoL. This study aimed to determine whether bariatric surgery improves QoL in women of reproductive age, with and without PCOS. We hypothesized greater QoL improvements would be seen post-operatively in women with PCOS. METHODS: Women undergoing bariatric surgery (N.=77) completed questionnaires exploring health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) prior to and at 3, 6 and 12 months post-surgery. Weight loss, symptoms, and association with change in QoL were assessed. RESULTS: Bariatric surgery resulted in significant QoL improvements, independent of PCOS status. Oligo/amenorrhea was reported in 68% of women at baseline, decreasing to 35% by 12 months. Sixty-five percent of women whose menstrual irregularity resolved over follow-up had PCOS. Hirsutism was reported in 64% of women at baseline (all of whom had PCOS), decreasing to 19% by 12 months. Weight loss at 12-months was 45.8±20.7 kg for women without PCOS compared to 44.3±16.8 kg in women with PCOS (P=0.07). Weight loss was moderately associated with 12-month QoL improvements for both groups. CONCLUSIONS: Bariatric surgery provides significant physical and psychological health benefits for women with obesity both with and without PCOS. Surgery can also ameliorate the clinical syndrome of PCOS, including oligomenorrhoea, hirsutism, and subfertility, with subsequent QoL benefits. Psychological support perioperatively may aid QoL outcomes by acknowledging factors influencing QoL beside absolute weight loss.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Androgen-producing granulosa cell tumor in adolescent girl is rare condition and clinical characteristics are not fully elucidated. CASE PRESENTATION: Seventeen years old girl complained of secondary amenorrhea was referred to our out-patient consultation. Markedly elevated serum testosterone, LH, and AMH levels were noted. Mild hirsutism and clitoromegaly were presented. Transabdominal ultrasonography and MRI revealed cystic mass occupied pelvic cavity probably originated from left ovary. Right ovary showed polycystic appearance. Laparoscopic left ovarian cystectomy was performed. After the surgery, her menstruation resumed along with normalized hormonal parameters, and clinical hyperandrogenism were improved. Since the scarcity of cellular lining of inner cyst wall, definitive pathological diagnosis was difficult. After the consultation with gynecological pathologist, the tumor was diagnosed as sex cord stromal tumor, highly suspicious for adult granulosa cell tumor. Residual left salpingo-oophorectomy was performed by additional laparoscopic surgery. Her serum testosterone and AMH levels were remained low with regular menstrual cycles and no evidence of recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: Androgen-producing cystic granulosa cell tumor is rare gynecological disorders, which need both gynecologic oncological and endocrinological approach. Its clinical manifestations may bring some clues to the pathogenesis of ovulatory dysfunctions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Ovarian drilling is a surgical technique for patients with dysovulatory polycystic ovarian syndrome. It is proposed as a second-line treatment in case of failure of medical treatment with Clomiphene citrate, Metformin or Letrozole. The 2020 Cochrane study comparing gonadotrophin stimulation and drilling has found the same pregnancy rate in both cases. The literature review concludes that 50% of spontaneous ovulation occurs in the first three months after drilling and 80% of pregnancy occurs in the following year. Ovarian drilling has also an impact on androgen excess and metabolic syndrome. AIMS: To update on the different surgical techniques to perform an ovarian drilling: surgical approach, energy used, operative risks. TECHNIQUES: The objective of an ovarian drilling is to destroy 5% of the ovarian stroma. It is recommended to perform 8 to 10 perforations in each ovary with bipolar energy. Laser C02 and monopolar energy can be used but increase the risk of adhesion. The surgical approach is actually laparoscopic. Abdominal laparoscopy or transvaginal laparoscopy by vNOTES can be performed. The advantage of the second one is to provide an easier access to the pelvic cavity in case of obesity and patient have no abdominal scare. Both laparoscopic approaches allow an evaluation of tubal patency and adhesiolysis or fimbrioplasty. That it's not the case of an alternative technique: the fertiloscopy, due to coaxial instrumentation in spite of less rate of post-operative adhesions. Operative risks are abdominal adhesions, damage to neighboring organs and due to the general anesthesia. CONCLUSION: Different surgical techniques exist to perform an ovarian drilling. The surgeon can choose the one that he masters best and that will involve the least risk for the patient. It is recommended to use bipolar energy.

RESUMO

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the leading cause of anovulatory infertility. The complex metabolic dysregulation at the base of this syndrome often renders infertility management challenging. Many pharmacological strategies have been applied for the induction of ovulation with a non-negligible rate of severe complications such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and multiple pregnancies. Ovarian drilling (OD) is currently being adopted as a second-line treatment, to be performed in case of medical therapy. Laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD), the contemporary version of ovarian wedge resection, is considered effective for gonadotropins in terms of live birth rates, but without the risks of iatrogenic complications in gonadotropin therapy. Its endocrinal effects are longer lasting and, after the accomplishment of this procedure, ovarian responsiveness to successive ovulation induction agents is enhanced. Traditional LOD, however, is burdened by the potential risks of iatrogenic adhesions and decreased ovarian reserve and, therefore, should only be considered in selected cases. To overcome these limits, novel tailored and mini-invasive approaches, which are still waiting for wide acceptance, have been introduced, although their role is still not well-clarified and none of them have provided enough evidence in terms of efficacy and safety.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Bariatric surgery has been proven to be a successful management strategy for morbid obesity, but limited studies exist on its effect on polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in terms of clinical, hormonal, and comorbidities. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a prospective observational study of 1013 PCOS patients who underwent bariatric surgery from a single high-volume center. Assessment of demographic data and menstrual irregularity as well as hirsutism and comorbidities was done preoperatively 6-month and yearly follow-up, whereas data regarding %TWL and %EWL was taken at follow-up visits conducted at regular intervals of 6 months, and 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years following surgery. RESULTS: Out of 1013 PCOS patients, 993 patients had hirsutism before surgery, and 741 (74.6%; p < 0.001) had complete resolution of hirsutism at end of 6 months' follow-up. A total of 202 (20.3%) had moderate resolution at follow-up of 1 year, 5 patients had minimal resolution at end of 2 years, and 45 (4.5%) patients reported no change in their hirsutism at 4 and 5 years of follow-up. Among 1007 women with PCOS who had menstrual dysfunction, 936 (93% p < 0.0001) women restored their normal menstrual cycle at 6 months post-surgery with 55.4% EWL while remaining other 71 (7%) women reported regular menses at 2 years post-surgery at 74.2% EWL and continued to have normal menstrual pattern during the entire follow-up period. Similarly, all the associated comorbidities T2DM (79.7%), HTN (78.7%), DLP (93.2%), and OSA (98.5%) and symptoms of PCOS were statistically (p < 0.0001) and completely resolved at end years of follow-up. CONCLUSION: Bariatric surgery is a good option for women with obesity and PCOS. It is effectively reducing weight along with PCOS and its disorder including hirsutism and menstrual irregularity in women with obesity and PCOS.

RESUMO

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To show a new mini-invasive surgical technique of ovarian drilling and fertility workup using transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES). DESIGN: Stepwise demonstration of the technique with narrated video footage. SETTING: Ovarian drilling is a surgical technique for patients with dysovulatory polycystic ovary syndrome. The aim of this technique is to destroy 5% to 10% of the ovarian cortex to restore spontaneous ovulation. Drilling is proposed as a second-line treatment in case of failure of treatments with clomid, metformin, or letrozole. The Cochrane 2020 review shows that drilling has the same pregnancy rate as the other second-line treatment: stimulation with gonadotropins [1]. After ovarian drilling, the results show 80% of spontaneous ovulation within 3 months and 50% of spontaneous pregnancy within a year; these results are effective in the long term [2]. The techniques used until now were either classic laparoscopy or transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy, which is currently not feasible owing to the cessation of the kit [3,4]. We present to you a new surgical technique: ovarian drilling by vNOTES. This new technique is minimally invasive, without scarring on the abdomen, and very well tolerated. It allows simultaneous ovarian drilling and fertility workup with assessment of tubal patency and uterine cavity by hysteroscopy. It is recommended to use bipolar energy to reduce ovarian lesions and limit the risk of adhesion [5]. INTERVENTIONS: Transvaginal laparoscopic ovarian drilling is a minimally invasive surgical technique using a vNOTES kit from Applied Medical (Rancho Santa Margarita, CA), a hysteroscope of 5 mm with an operating channel from Delmont Imaging (La Ciotat, France), and a bipolar spring electrode, Versapoint from Olympus (Hamburg, Germany). The key steps to perform this surgery are as follows: 1. Perform a diagnostic hysteroscopy with vaginoscopy 2. Perform a posterior colpotomy 3. Introduce the Alexis retractor into the Douglas and place the GelPOINT with 2 sleeves 4. Introduce the hysteroscope into the pelvic cavity with serum saline, using a pressure of approximately 150 mm Hg 5. Drill approximately 10 holes on each ovary using the bipolar electrode 6. Explore the pelvic cavity with the possibility of performing a blue test for tubal patency 7. Suture the posterior vagina CONCLUSION: Ovarian drilling is a surgical treatment proposed after the failure of first-line treatments in polycystic ovary syndrome to obtain long-term spontaneous ovulations. The development of minimally invasive techniques such as vNOTES will highlight this treatment and allow it to be performed easily and with minimal adverse effects on patients, especially in bariatric women for whom the vNOTES technique provides easier access to their pelvic cavity than abdominal laparoscopy.
