  • Title: Combined diagnostic laparoscopy and follicular aspiration for human in vitro fertilization.
    Author: Shoham Z, Barash A, Yemini M, Borenstein R.
    Journal: Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand; 1990; 69(1):23-6. PubMed ID: 2140662.
    Abstract:
    Laparoscopic retrieval of oocytes from stimulated follicles for in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) was performed at the time of diagnostic laparoscopy in 36 infertile women. Their mean rates of cleavage, embryo transfer and pregnancy did not differ from those obtained in 86 patients (101 cycles) who underwent ultrasonically guided transvaginal oocyte retrieval following diagnostic laparoscopy performed earlier as a separate procedure. In view of the advantages in terms of reduced patient morbidity, time and cost benefits, and the opportunity for oocyte-sperm compatibility testing in vitro, the combined procedure appears to be the best method in patients scheduled to undergo diagnostic laparoscopy.
