Therapeutic approaches to chronic anovulation from polycystic ovaries in clomiphene-resistant infertile patients are under debate. This study discusses evidence that supports the possible predictive value of serum basal level of androstenedione in the choice of the better therapy between laparoscopic ovarian electrocautery and ovulation induction. Lower androstenedione levels seem to be correlated with a better ovarian response after ovulation induction with gonadotropins, while high androstenedione levels are associated with a higher incidence of conception after laparoscopic ovarian electrocautery. Obesity does not seem to represent a hindrance to laparoscopic treatment.
