Abstract
ABSTRACT Aim and objective This study was to find out optimal laparoscopic surgical procedures for fertility promotion and to compare its pregnancy outcome with in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure. Design and setting Laparoscopic surgical procedures were performed under one consultant in a tertiary fertility set-up. Materials and methods Between January 1994 and December 2008, 3,982 cases of fertility promoting laparoscopic surgery (FPLS) were performed in our center. The procedures were related to uterus and appendages and especially endometriosis. Results The pregnancy rate following the surgical correction of minor tubal defects, ovarian cyst and uterine fibroids was between 25 and 30%, major tubal defects (5.7%) and severe endometriosis 18.5%. But the assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcome for the former was 30% and for the latter too, was between 25 and 30%. Conclusion Laparoscopic surgical corrections for minor tubal defects yield comparable results to ART, but for other two conditions, the latter is superior to the former.
