BACKGROUND Bilateral tubal pregnancies in the absence of preceding induction of ovulation are a rare occurrence, with an estimated incidence of 1 in 725 to 1 in 1580 ectopic pregnancies. They are usually diagnosed at the time of surgery. CASE We report a case of spontaneous bilateral tubal pregnancies diagnosed intraoperatively. Conservative laparoscopic tubal surgery was used to treat the ec...

The incidence of heterotopic/ectopic pregnancy in recent times has increased partly due to the increase in assisted reproductive technologies, whereas such medical cases and cervical pregnancy in particular are extremely rare with spontaneous conception. We report on three patients referred to our department in one week: one patient each with spontaneous heterotopic pregnancy, cervical pregnanc...

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...

Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is the fourth most frequent cause of maternal death in the United Kingdom, and it is the main cause of maternal death during the first trimester in the United States. The Fallopian tubes are the most frequently affected site by EP. The main causes of tubal pregnancy are salpingitis, previous tubal surgeries, and alteration in tubal motility mainly due to the use of certai...

The classic symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are secondary amenorrhoea, abdominal pain and vaginal haemorrhage, with a clinical picture of varying acuteness. It is among the commonest causes of maternal mortality during the first three months of pregnancy. In the majority of cases (95%) the pregnancy is tubal, but other sites are possible (cervical, corneal, ovarian, peritoneal). In the treatment ...

Isolated tubal torsion is a rare gynecologic emergency, the incidence is reported to be approximately 1/1.500.000 [1]. The 12 to 20% of patients are observed in pregnancy [2]. In the evaluation of adnexal masses; ultrasonography (USG) is the gold standard although a definitive diagnosis is diagnosed after surgical exploration [3]. In this case; we aimed the presentation of which is operated wit...

OBJECTIVE To establish clearance curves for serum β -hCG in women with successfully expectantly managed tubal ectopic pregnancies. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. Non- viable tubal ectopic pregnancy was diagnosed on transvaginal ultrasound. If initial serum β hCG was less than 5000 IU/L and patients were asymptomatic, expectant management was offered. Patients underwent serial β hCG measur...

Tubal factors are associated with infertility. To evaluate the influence of past Chlamydial infections on female fertility with unilateral tubal occlusion, we compared the cumulative pregnancy rate of Chlamydia antibody seropositive women with those who are seronegative. A retrospective, case-controlled study was designed. A total of 54 consecutive infertile women with unilateral tubal occlusio...

INTRODUCTION Sterilization at caesarean section is usually performed by the modified Pomeroy's technique. Application of Falope rings and Filshie clips may also be used for tubal sterilization at caesarean section, and these techniques are also used during laparoscopy or minilaparotomy. OBJECTIVES The main objective of the study was to evaluate the failure rates, complications, technical diff...
