Abstract

Laparoscopically directed ovarian biopsy has been evaluated in 39 cases of secondary amenorrhea. The definite diagnosis was achieved in 29 cases. In 10 cases, ovarian histopathology alone was insufficient, and the estimations of gonadotropins were essential for the final diagnosis. The scope and limitations of this procedure for the differential diagnosis of premature ovarian failure and hypothalamic-pituitary lesions are discussed.
