PCOD Drilling
Laparoscopy ovarian drilling is a surgical treatment that can trigger ovulation in women who have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Electrocautery is used to destroy parts of the ovaries. Ovarian drilling is usually done through a small incision (laparoscopy), with general anesthesia. The surgeon makes a small cut (incision) in the abdomen at the belly button. The surgeon then places a tube to inflate the abdomen with a small amount of carbon dioxide gas so that he or she can insert the viewing instrument (laparoscopy) without damage to the internal organs. The surgeon looks through the laparoscopy at the internal organs. Surgical instruments may be inserted through the same incision or other small incisions in the pelvic area.
