RESUMEN
PIP: 33 patients, 25 of whom were consulting for infertility problems and 8 for family planning, were evaluated as to the state of their endocrine systems. 38 ovarian biopsies were taken by culdoscopy, in 28 unilaterally and in the rest on both sides. They were done during the 2nd half of the cycle as a wedge resection. Both an endometrial biopsy and a salpingochromatoscopy were done at once. The histologic study found 30 normal ovaries, 1 case of diminished follicular tissue, and 2 cases without follicular tissue. The macroscopic examination found 20 normal ovaries, 2 hypoplastic, and 11 micropolycystic. A relationship was drawn between symptoms and macroscopic appearance of the ovary and histology of the follicular system. 93.9% of the patients were discharged in 24 hours. The biopsies gave a clearer indication of the total problem than the endocrine evaluation. 5 cases of amenorrhea were normalized and the other problems could be thoroughly considered. For example, the probability of pregnancy without follicular tissue is nil and with limited follicular tissue is unlikely.^ieng
