background: currently clomiphene citrate is the first-line treatment to induce ovulation in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos). surgical therapy with laparoscopic ovarian drilling (lod) may avoid or reduce the need for gonadotropins.   objective: to determine the effectiveness and safety of lod compared with ovulation induction in subfertile women with clomiphene-resistant pcos.   se...

BACKGROUND Laparoscopic electrocautery has been put forward as the treatment of choice in women with clomiphene citrate (CC)-resistant polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In order to make an informed treatment decision it would be helpful if we could identify women with PCOS with a high probability of treatment failure following electrocautery of the ovaries. METHODS Eighty-three women with CC-...

BACKGROUND Anatomic sublobar resection is being assessed as a substitute to lobectomy for primary lung cancers. However, persistent air leak after anatomic sublobar resection is prevalent and increasing surgical morbidity and costs. The use of electrocautery is being popularized recently in anatomic sublobar resection. We have retrospectively evaluated the safety and efficacy of intersegmental ...

In the veterinary clinic, contraceptive surgery is most commonly performed in female cats. However, it not established which surgical technique appropriate. order to reduce postoperative pain, recovery time, time and technical ease for surgeon, different techniques variations of these have been described. This has created dilemma performing ovariohysterectomy versus oophorectomy; type approach:...

Because significant postoperative blood loss can result in many complications, hemostasis remains a critical part of successful joint replacement outcomes. Advanced techniques, such as electrocautery use after optimally timed tourniquet release, focus on desired patient blood loss outcomes. The purposes of this study were to report the incidence of nerve injury, identify associated risk factors...

The aim this research was evaluate benefit ORC surgical management endometriomas reduce rate while preserving reserve. Methods: This prospective randomized controlled carried out on 60 c...

Background and aim: Pyogenic granuloma is a small, red, benign vascular tumor usually occuring after penetrating injury in skin. Different therapies such as laser, surgery and electro surgery have been offered for its treatment. Each of these therapies has advantages and disadvantages. In this study, we evaluated the therapeutic effects of cryotherapy and electrocautery on pyogenic granul...

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a rare iatrogenic complication of ovarian stimulation occurring during the luteal phase or during early pregnancy. Fortunately, the reported prevalence of the severe form of OHSS is small, ranging from 0.5 to 5%. Nevertheless, as this is an iatrogenic complication of a non-vital treatment with a potentially fatal outcome, the syndrome remains a seriou...

Around 50,000 female sterilisations are performed every year in the UK, although there is a suggestion of a worldwide downward trend in sterilisation procedures. Surgical techniques used in female sterilisation are designed to prevent pregnancy by occluding tubal patency through mechanical device application, electrocautery or by ...
