Laparoscopic ovarian drilling (2015)
Book Chapter
Amer, S. A. K. (2015). Laparoscopic ovarian drilling. In M. Metwally, & T. Li (Eds.), Reproductive Surgery in Assisted Conception (61-71). Springer London. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4471-4953-8_6

Laparoscopic ovarian drilling has been widely accepted as the second line of choice for induction of ovulation in CC-resistant PCOS women in preference to gonadotrophin therapy. In addition to its proven efficacy, LOD offers several advantages over g... Read More about Laparoscopic ovarian drilling.

Journal Article
Amer, S. A., Mahran, A., Abdelmaged, A., El-Adawy, A. R., Eissa, M. K., & Shaw, R. W. (2013). The influence of circulating anti-Müllerian hormone on ovarian responsiveness to ovulation induction with gonadotrophins in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome: a pilot study. Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 11(115), Article 115. https://doi.org/10.1186/1477-7827-11-115

Background Women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) are known to have elevated circulating Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), which has been found to desensitize ovarian follicles to follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). The purpose of this study was...

The Predictive Value of Circulating Anti-Müllerian Hormone in Women With Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Receiving Clomiphene Citrate: A Prospective Observational Study (2013)
Journal Article
Mahran, A., Abdelmeged, A., El-Adawy, A. R., Eissa, M. K., Shaw, R. W., & Amer, S. A. (2013). The Predictive Value of Circulating Anti-Müllerian Hormone in Women With Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Receiving Clomiphene Citrate: A Prospective Observational Study. Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 98(10), 4170-4175. https://doi.org/10.1210/jc.2013-2193

CONTEXT: Elevated serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) concentration in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is known to lower sensitivity of ovarian follicles to circulating FSH. This effect may compromise the outcome of clomiphene citrate (...
