Background: Infertility is a global issue in reproductive health. In many cultures the ability to have children is important sign of an individual's worth. Aim and objective: To compare hysterosalpingography, transvaginal sonosalpingography and laparoscopic chromotubation for evaluation of tubal factor in infertility. Materials and methods: This consisted of 50 infertile women with either prima...

Diagnosis of acute pancreatitis in dogs remains a significant challenge despite the development of advanced diagnostic methodologies. Visual inspection and pancreas biopsy using laparoscopy are generally considered to be procedures free of complications when conducted on healthy animals. However, the usefulness of laparoscopy for diagnosing acute pancreatitis has not been assessed. In the prese...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of treatment with intramuscular (IM) methotrexate compared with fallopian tube-sparing laparoscopy for small unruptured ectopic pregnancy. METHODS A decision-analytic model accounting for varying resolution rates, complication rates, and cost estimates was built to compare the use of methotrexate with laparoscopy. Meta-analysis results of studies i...

INTRODUCTION Laparoscopy is a long-established diagnostic and therapeutic method for treating women suffering from infertility. The application of this method of treatment can help achieve pregnancy only if there is correct classification of patients and evaluation of their partner's reproductive capacity. The main predictors of achieving pregnancy in a couple treated for infertility are the wo...

PURPOSE To determine the feasibility and safety of treating patients with advanced gastric cancer with laparoscopy. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 180 patients with advanced gastric carcinoma and divided them into either the laparoscopy group (96 cases) or the laparotomy group (84 cases). RESULTS The number of lymph nodes dissected during surgery and the surgical time were similar in b...

A prospective audit of the diagnostic yield and management benefit of laparoscopy was undertaken in 220 consecutive patients. The procedure was performed electively in 180 patients and as an emergency in 40. The indications for laparoscopy in the elective group were suspected hepatic disease, staging of intra-abdominal malignancy, diagnostic problems, and chronic abdominal pain. Emergency lapar...

INTRODUCTION Conventional two-dimensional (2D) laparoscopy systems have the drawback of poor depth perception and spatial orientation. Three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopic systems have stereoscopic vision in which depth perception is achieved by different unique images received by each eye. We evaluated 3D laparoscopy in comparison with conventional 2D laparoscopy in urological procedures in a p...

incidence of infertility is 15-20%. tubal and peritontal factors are responsible for 30-40% of infertility cases. in evaluation of infertile women, hysterosalpingography (hsg) is the first test in evaluating of fallopian tubes and laparoscopy is the gold standard test for diagnosing tubal problems and pelvic adhesions. in this study we evaluated 291 infertile couples. study is prospective, desc...
