Serum gonadotropin, prolactin, estradiol, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and androgen levels were measured before, 5 days and 6 weeks following ovarian wedge resection in 9 patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. Elevated levels of LH, androstenedione, testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone-sulphate (DHEA-S) were found before surgery. There was a marked decrease in androstenedione and DHEA-S levels 5 days following wedge resection, but a rebound effect could be observed 6 weeks later. Serum gonadotropin, prolactin, testosterone and SHBG concentrations were practically unaffected by surgery. At 6-12 months follow up patients showed regular, mainly ovulatory cycles, but pregnancy occurred only in two cases.
