26. Z   Laparoscopy: Examination of the pelvic or other
abdominal organs with a fibreoptic telescope inserted surgically
below the navel.  During laparoscopy, suction applied to the
needle can be used in the recovery of eggs from follicles in the
ovary.       Live birth event: Birth event of at least one baby
that shows any sign of life.  Lost To Follow-Up: Where patients
cannot be contacted by clinics to find out the final outcome of
the treatment they received (for example a live birth or
miscarriage, etc). then these are reported as LTFU. Typically it
is where a patient has moved home within the pregnancy without
informing the clinic or overseas patients which can be difficult
to trace.   Back to top  Page last updated: 18 July 2012
