Ovarian diathermy, a procedure first described by Gjönnaess7, involves the cauterization of ovarian stromal tissue using unipolar cautery. This procedure differs significantly from other laparoscopic procedures such as ovarian drilling in that diathermy does not involve destruction of any of the cortical part of the ovary.

At present, it is unclear what the role is of laparoscopic ovarian diathermy (LOD) and of metformin administration as second-line treatments for ovulation induction in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) after failure of clomiphene citrate (CC) treatment.

No cases of severe OHSS were seen in group A. Ovarian diathermy does not appear to have a deleterious effect on controlled ovarian stimulation, and the outcome of IVF-embryo transfer may be beneficial in decreasing the risk of severe OHSS and improving the ongoing clinical pregnancy rate.
