Is ovarian puncture or ovarian drilling the appropriate UK term, does anyone know?

Kind regards,

Likewise I would tend to agree with Liz's solution, but then I would ask myself why didn't the Spanish use "aspiración folicular " (la aspiración folicular es un procedimiento que buscar extraer los ovocitos del interior de los folículos). It certainly looks like they are describing a similar procedure.
neilmac Feb 11, 2020:
In that case I would probably stick to the literal translation if they are different procedures. However, I'm not an expert in this kind of thing, which is why I qualified my comment with "For What It's Worth" and didn't bother posting my findings as a solution.

You might be right but it does not seem to be widely used. Ovarian Drilling is a different procedure though.

FWIW I found several hits for "ovarian punction" in published papers. "The oocytes are collected through vaginal ovarian punction with local or general anesthesia..."

ovarian puncture

I believe that the English term would be the same.

Follicular aspiration happens during the procedure, but I think it is part of the ovarian puncture procedure. First, a transvaginal ultrasound is done to find the follicles, then a puncture is made and finally the follicular fluid is aspired.
Example sentence:

Effects of ovarian puncture for in vitro maturation on subsequent in vitro fertilization cycle in women with polycystic ovaries
