The surgical treatment of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) by laparotomy ovarian wedge resection was first reported by Stein and Leventhal in 1935. However, the procedure was often associated with the development of periadnexal adhesions obviating the beneficial effects of surgery. Therefore, this surgical treatment became truly obsolete. Advances in laparoscopic techniques have resulted in a resurgence of interest in surgical induction of ovulation. Laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) is a less invasive modification of ovarian wedge resection.

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer NSCLC Stages I and II Surgery In patients with NSCLC stages IA, IB, IIA and IIB (Table 85-2) who can tolerate operation, the treatment of choice is pulmonary resection. If a complete resection is possible, the 5-year survival rate for N0 disease is about 60–80%, depending on the size of the tumor. The 5-year survival drops to about 50% when N1 (hilar node involvement) disease is present. The extent of resection is a matter of surgical judgment based on findings at exploration.
