Theoretically, total salpingectomy eliminates the risk of an ipsilateral tubal pregnancy. However, total salpingectomy is difficult to achieve using endoloops alone. We describe a situation where this resulted in an ipsilateral recurrence of tubal pregnancy which required emergency intervention and removal of the tubal remnants.

BACKGROUND In 1998, transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy (THL) was introduced as a new outpatient procedure for exploration of tubo-ovarian structures and tubal patency in subfertile patients. At present, there are no large studies that relate the findings at THL to fertility outcome. METHODS Consecutive patients undergoing THL for subfertility between 2000 and 2004 were included in this prospective...

background: genital tuberculosis (gtb) is an important cause of female infertility, especially in developing countries. the positive results of polymerase chain reaction (pcr) in endometrial gtb in the absence of tubal damage raise the possibility of the detection of sub-clinical or latent disease, with doubtful benefits of treatment. objective: to evaluate the mycobacterium tuberculosis infect...

background: female genital tuberculosis is an important cause of secondary amenorrhea and infertility in developing countries where tuberculosis is endemic. objectives: we present three cases in which endometrial tuberculosis was a cause of secondary amenorrhea and infertility.rnpatients and methods: in a retrospective study from january 2007 to june 2010, we conducted 1010 laparoscopies for in...

A case-control study was carried out at a public teaching hospital in Recife, Pernambuco State, Brazil in 1997 to investigate risk factors among women who feel regret after undergoing sterilization through tubal ligation. The study compared sterilized women who had requested or undergone a tubal reversal with women who were also sterilized but had not undergone this surgery, nor had requested t...

OBJECTIVES To study the various factors affecting the success rate of tubal recanalization and the reasons for failure of the procedure. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted during 2000-2007 @ KIMS, Hubli. RESULTS Of the 25 subjects who underwent tubal recanalization, 44 % of women conceived and they were >35 years of age. Laparoscopically sterilized patients had better chances of co...

Background: Hydrosalpinx is a common cause of female infertility1 and adversely affects the outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF). Although IVF is the main treatment, alternative treatments, such as salpingectomy and functional tubal surgery have been suggested.2 Previously, hydrosalpinx was diagnosed using tubal patency tests (transvaginal ultrasound, TVUS; hysterosalpingography, HSG; and l...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to examine the impact of the presence of endometrial fluid (seen through ultrasound) on the outcome of IVF cycles and its association with the aetiology of infertility, in tubal and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) cases specifically. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated the charts of all PCOS and tubal factor infertility patients that underwent IVF...

BACKGROUND The possibility of conception following selective salpingography and tubal catheterization is believed to decline sharply a few months after the procedure. This observation may be due to the relatively small number of patients and short follow-up of previous studies. Furthermore, couples with other causes of infertility apart from proximal tubal blockage have usually been excluded. ...
