Abstract
The results of laparoscopic (lap) and transvaginal (TV) oocyte pickups (OPUs) performed concurrently for in vitro fertilization in 232 consecutive treatment cycles have been reviewed. The patients were compared for age, preoperative estradiol concentration, luteal-phase support, and number of follicles aspirated and were found to be similar but were not matched for cause of infertility. The lap OPU group had more oocytes recovered per follicle aspirated (P.Keywords
