Obstruction of the uterine (proximal) end of the fallopian tube is noted on up to 20% of hysterosalpingograms and has a variety of underlying causes. Definitive diagnosis and treatment in the past have required laparoscopy or laparotomy with tubal resection. Selective salpingography and fallopian tube recanalization with fluoroscopically guided catheters has emerged as an improved method both f...

Introduction In spina bifida the neural tube fails to close during the embryonic period and it is thought that exposure of the neural tube to the amniotic fluid during pregnancy causes additional neural damage (second hit hypothesis) [1]. Intra-uterine tissue engineering, using a biomaterial seeded with stem cells, might prevent this additional damage. For this purpose, autologous stem cells fr...

A 24-year-old primigravida presented with subacute ectopic pregnancy and had salpingectomy for a ruptured tubal pregnancy involving the ampullary portion of the left fallopian tube. Post-operative follow-up revealed continuing symptoms of pregnancy and increasing uterine size. A diagnosis of multiple pregnancy was confirmed by abdominal ultrasonography. The patient was managed to term and had n...

During a research visit for tissue collection at an abattoir located in Pelotas, Brazil, one female genital tract showed both enlarged oviducts. The reproductive tract was collected and analyzed. Occluded uterine tubes and an increase in the organ volume due to the large amount of fluid in the organ lumen were the macroscopic findings. Three samples, corresponding to isthmus, ampulla and infund...

usual gynecologic malignancy that accounts for less than 1% of all malignancies of the female genitalia (1). Among them, papillary serous adenocarcinoma appears to be the most common histologic type (2). Endometrial cancer is one of the common gynecologic malignancies. Most endometrial cancers are endometrioid adenocarcinomas and only approximately 10% are uterine papillary serous carcinomas (3...

of lectures on the above subject. The importance of the subject warrants the following abstract : Causation? Every pregnancy is the result of the impregnation of the ovum of the female by the spermatozoon of the male, and the normal place for the development of the impregnated ovum is the cavity of the uterus, while the channel through which the ovum must pass from the ovary in order to gain th...

Primary carcinoma of the Fallopian tube is one of the rarest malignancies of the female genital tract. The Authors report a case of primary carcinoma of the uterine tube and review the treatment of this disease reported in literature. Since this tumor is so rare, debatable viewpoints remain and thus new proposals and modifications of methods of staging continue to emerge. The Authors conclude b...

The objective of this study was to highlight the postnatal development of the uterine tubes of the West African Dwarf goat from birth to 28 weeks of age by gross examination and light microscopy. There was a caudal migration of the paired uterine tubes from behind the paired kidneys at birth to the pelvic inlet at week 8 of age. Each uterine tube exhibited three segments namely; infundibulum, a...
