Effectiveness of Bariatric Surgery on Ovulation Rates in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Findings from the BAMBINI trial show that bariatric surgery significantly increased rates of spontaneous ovulation in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and obesity compared to medical care. The surgical group had 2.5 times more ovulations than the medical group, indicating greater efficacy in improving fertility prospects. Although complications were more frequent in the surgery group, there were no long-term adverse effects. These results highlight the potential of bariatric surgery in enhancing fertility for women with PCOS and obesity.
