Back ground: Aim Of The Work: To compare the effectiveness of laparoscopic ovarian drilling versus bromocriptine added to combined letrozole and metformin in clomiphene citrate-resistant infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Patients And Methods: a prospective, randomized study included 112 primary infertile women with PCOS divided into two groups: Group 1 underwent laparoscopic ovarian drilling, Group 2 received bromocriptine, letrozole & metformin, ovulation rate and pregnancy rate were compared between both groups. Results: ovulation and pregnancy rate was noted to be higher in a medical treatment group than LOD group but not statistically significant, P- Value =0.28Conclusion: LOD as an option in the management of infertile women with PCOS especially as a second line treatment after failure of medical induction of ovulation to eliminate the risk of surgery &anaesthesia.
