From 1 April 1986 to 20 May 1987, 160 oocyte retrievals were performed in our IVF program. 80 oocyte retrievals were done by laparoscopy under general anaesthesia and 80 under light sedation and local analgesia using transvaginal ultrasound guided follicle puncture. More oocytes were recovered with the ultrasound procedure than with laparoscopy, 616 versus 478. The fertilization rate was higher when the oocytes were collected with the ultrasound procedure, vis-à-vis laparoscopy, 70.6% versus 59.6%. The number of embryos transferred was greater in the former than in the latter group, 300 versus 182. There were 13 clinical pregnancies in the laparoscopy group versus 17 in the ultrasound group. There were no serious complications in either group. Transvaginal ultrasound guided follicle aspiration is a safe and simple procedure.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009865 Oocytes Female germ cells derived from OOGONIA and termed OOCYTES when they enter MEIOSIS. The primary oocytes begin meiosis but are arrested at the diplotene state until OVULATION at PUBERTY to give rise to haploid secondary oocytes or ova (OVUM). Ovocytes,Oocyte,Ovocyte
D010535 Laparoscopy A procedure in which a laparoscope (LAPAROSCOPES) is inserted through a small incision near the navel to examine the abdominal and pelvic organs in the PERITONEAL CAVITY. If appropriate, biopsy or surgery can be performed during laparoscopy.

D014465 Ultrasonics A subfield of acoustics dealing in the radio frequency range higher than acoustic SOUND waves (approximately above 20 kilohertz). Ultrasonic radiation is used therapeutically (DIATHERMY and ULTRASONIC THERAPY) to generate HEAT and to selectively destroy tissues. It is also used in diagnostics, for example, ULTRASONOGRAPHY; ECHOENCEPHALOGRAPHY; and ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, to visually display echoes received from irradiated tissues. Ultrasonic
