J. Henry-Suchetl, then Buttram2, have described the use of such a pre- and postoperative treatment for two reasons:\n-\n(1)\nThe surgical act is facilitated: ovariolysis can be done in better conditions, in particular when adhesions are dense and extensive. Ovaries become small and hard with a reduced tendency to bleed.\n-\n(2)\nIt prevents postoperative adhesion of the tube to a recent corpus luteum and reduces formation after ovarian surgery of new adhesions. This has been confirmed by a second-look laparoscopy on 8 days postoperatively and has been published earlier3. Oestroprogestagens or norethisterone could reach an equivalent result but the thromboembolic risk is unacceptable in surgery.\nSimilar content being viewed by others\nReferences\nHenry-Suchet, J. and Loffredo, V.
