How Laparoscopic Ovarian Drilling (LOD) is performed
This procedure is often performed under general anesthesia, with optional laparoscopic instruments and energy systems. Typically, a laparoscope is inserted through a small incision, and after exploring the pelvic cavity, limited drilling/cauterization is performed on the ovarian cortex to reduce ovarian stromal activity and facilitate ovulation recovery. Postoperatively, vital signs, pain, and bleeding are monitored, and the risks of infection and adhesion are assessed, with follow-up based on menstrual and ovulation changes. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
