[Surgical treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome. B. Postoperative examinations]

After the wedge resection of the ovaries the authors obtained the normal menses in 100%, the reduction of total testosterone in blood of 41.8% and of 17-KS in urine of 20%, an increase of fertility of 62.5% and in hirsutism a correction only of 12%, the stopping of 12% and no correction of 76%. The authors conclude that the cause of the healing or of the correction is placed in the resection of 3/4 of the changed ovaries with cysts follicles with distinct thecal layer what is accompanied by the reduction of testosterone on average of 41.8%. On contrary a weak correction in hirsutism has the explanation that the existent hirsutism is supported even by the normal level of testosterone in organism.
