Abstract

Transvaginal aspiration of pelvic cystic inflammatory masses guided by a real time ultrasound vaginal transducer is described. The technique was successfully used in 32 patients to aspirate these masses before ovulation induction for in vitro fertilization (IVF). It is a safe and simple procedure that resulted in significantly higher ovarian response to stimulation for IVF, easier ultrasonic follow-up of the follicles, significant increase in the average number of oocytes per pick-up, and significant increase in the number of embryos per transfer when compared with the control group.
