Polycystic ovarian disease has been recognised for quite a long time, although its presentations have varied from place to place. In a report of cases of polycystic ovaries seen in the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria, over a six-year period, it was shown that the syndrome of Stein-Leventhal identifies only a very small and probably artificial fraction of the much larger number of patients who actually have polycystic ovarian disease. It was further shown that the benefit derived from wedge resection in our cases was marked. Of the cases that were subsequently seen at follow-up, there was restoration of regular ovulatory menstrual flow in 83.3% and achievement of pregnancy in 33.3%. Hence, the observation that wedge resection is beneficial, and at times curative in polycystic ovarian disease seems to have a sound foundation.
多囊卵巢疾病已被认识很长时间了，尽管其临床表现因地区而异。在一份关于尼日利亚伊巴丹大学学院医院六年期间所见多囊卵巢病例的报告中显示，斯坦因-莱文塔尔综合征仅识别出实际患有多囊卵巢疾病的大量患者中的一小部分，而且可能是人为划分的。进一步表明，在我们的病例中，楔形切除术带来的益处很显著。在随后随访中见到的病例中，83.3%恢复了规律的排卵性月经周期，33.3%实现了妊娠。因此，楔形切除术对多囊卵巢疾病有益且有时具有治愈性这一观察结果似乎有坚实的基础。
