Abstract
According to the guidelines, second line therapy in clomiphene resistant infertile PCOS should be either with gonadotropins or laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) surgery. Surgical alternative have the advantageous of singleton pregnancies and less OHSS if pregnancy occurs. On the other hand, there are some hesitations among the physicians in performing LOD because of the reason that ovarian reserve may diminish after the operation or there might be some adhesion formation which might affect the fertility of the woman. This concern seems to be not valid under the light of the available literature.
