Background Hysterosalpingram (HSG) evaluation of tubal patency is typically performed in the follicular phase, but data to support this timing are lacking. Purpose To determine whether menstrual cycle phase or hormonal treatments affect observation of tubal patency during HSG. Material and Methods Ten participants underwent repeated HSG examinations: during the follicular and luteal phase of a ...

introduction: chlamydia trachomatis infection is a common pathogen in sexual transmitted disease, but most of female patients with this infection are asymptomatic. sequealae include pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility and ectopic pregnancy. the aim of the study was to determine the association between chlamydia trachomatis and tubal factor infertility, if significant. methods: this prospec...

BACKGROUND: Tubal sterilization is the method of family planning most commonly used. The existence of the post-tubal-ligation syndrome of menstrual abnormalities has been the subject of debate for decades. METHODS: In a cross-sectional study, 112 women with the history of Pomeroy type of tubal ligation achieved by minilaparatomy as the case group and 288 women with no previous tubal ligation as...

s: Objective: To find out whether Hysterosalpigography (HSG), can be used as initial method for assessing tubal factor of infertility, instead of more invasive method like diagnostic laparoscopy. Methods: Retrospective analysis of 75 cases, who had attended infertility Clinic at Medical College, Ujjain, and underwent HSG as initial test followed by Laparoscopy from November 2005 to December 201...

Background. Surgery is sometimes required for the management of tubal ectopic pregnancies. Historically, surgeons used electrosurgery to obtain hemostasis. Topical hemostatic sealants, such as FloSeal, may decrease the reliance on electrosurgery and reduce thermal injury to the tissue. Case. A 33-year-old G1 P0 received methotrexate for a right tubal pregnancy. The patient became symptomatic si...

Background Although pelvic inflammatory disease can be seen after tubal occlusion, tuboovarian abscess is rare, with only 38 cases reported since 1975 [1]. The differential diagnosis of tuboovarian abscess after tubal occlusion should include non-infectious and non-gynecologic etiology, particularly as women age [2]. Case A 40 year old multiparous woman with a distant history of tubal occlusi...

OBJECTIVE Our purpose was to determine the risk of pregnancy after tubal sterilization for common methods of tubal occlusion. STUDY DESIGN A multicenter, prospective cohort study was conducted in U.S. medical centers. A total of 10,685 women who underwent tubal sterilization was followed up for 8 to 14 years. The risk of pregnancy was assessed by cumulative life-table probabilities and propor...

BACKGROUND Measurement of serum β-hCG concentration commonly used to diagnose tubal ectopic pregnancy (EP) and follow up patients treated conservatively. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the predictive value of maternal serum β-hCG concentration in ruptured tubal ectopic pregnancy to help physicians identify those women who are at greatest risk. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is...

Non-tubal ectopic pregnancies are a rare subgroup of ectopic pregnancies implanted at sites other than the Fallopian tube. Mortality fromnon-tubal ectopic pregnancies is higher comparedwith that for tubal ectopic pregnancies, and theyarebecomingmore common, partly due to the rising incidence of Caesarean sections and use of assisted reproductive technologies. Non-tubal ectopic pregnancies can b...

POPULATION OR SAMPLE 19 women who underwent laparoscopic tubal reanastomosis following tubal sterilisation. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Pregnancy rate and 'take home baby' rate.
