A major cause of female infertility is fallopian tube obstruction and traditional conservative and interventional treatments have been largely unsuccessful, especially in patients with distal tubal obstruction. The objective of the current study was to compare the curative outcome of ozone (treatment group) and conventional interventional treatment (comparison group) through comparing the diffe...

In vitro fertilization [5] (IVF) is an assisted reproductive technology [6] (ART) initially introduced by Patrick Steptoe [7] and Robert Edwards [8] in the 1970s to treat female infertility [9] caused by damaged or blocked fallopian tubes [10]. This major breakthrough in embryo research has provided large numbers of women the possibility of becoming pregnant, and subsequent advances have dramat...

Background: Ipsilateral recurrence after salpingectomy is rare, but delay in diagnosis can result in rupture and potentially life-threatening hemorrhaging. Because of the paucity of data, there are various methods by which ipsilateral recurrent ectopic pregnancies have been managed. It may be possible to decrease the incidence of such pregnancies further with complete removal of the Fallopian t...

Isolated fallopian tube torsion is an uncommon cause of acute, lower abdominal pain in women of reproductive age and even more rare during pregnancy. The incidence is approximately one in one-and-a-half million females [1]. The etiologies of torsion of the fallopian tube are unknown. The clinical characteristics and the imaging studies are not specific, diagnosis can be challenging and difficul...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare three different new bipolar energy modalities and classic bipolar in vivo for tissue thermal spread. MATERIAL AND METHOD This prospective, randomized, single-blind study was conducted between Septemsber 2012 and July 2013. Eighteen patients aged 40-65 years undergoing hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy for benign etiology were included in t...

Female pigs were assigned to three groups at 94 days of age: a control group (CTR), a group undergoing the ligation and severing of the left oviduct (LIG), and a group undergoing right hysteroovariectomy (HHO). They were inseminated at 307 days of age. At 35 days of pregnancy, an ultrasonic transit time flow probe was implanted around the middle artery of one uterine horn in 33 sows and uterine...

Aim: To review the technique and results of falloposcopy and compare it with the conventional methods used in the evaluation of tubal subfertility. Data source: Electronic library, SpringerLink, PubMed, Google, HighWire, eMedicine and materials from World Laparoscopy Hospital. Study selection: Studies involving the use of falloposcopy in assessing tubal status were reviewed and compared with co...

The concurrence of intraepithelial high-grade neoplasia in the fallopian tube with metastatic implants has been taken as evidence of a tubal origin for high-grade serous pelvic carcinomas. In the current issue, Eckert and colleagues perform detailed genomic phylogenetic analyses and demonstrate that some cases of high-grade serous intraepithelial tubal neoplasia are metastatic implants and not ...

Knowledge about fallopian tube disease is essential in the assessment of the pelvis in female patients. Primary and secondary changes in the tubes vary widely, regardless of whether associated changes in the ovaries are present. Ultrasonography is the initial technique in the study of adnexal disease because it is very sensitive and widely available; however, MRI is also very useful in this con...

Pelvic serous carcinoma is usually advanced stage at diagnosis, indicating that abdominal spread occurs early in carcinogenesis. Recent discovery of a precursor sequence in the fallopian tube, culminating in serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC), provides an opportunity to study early disease events. This study aims to explore novel metastatic routes in STICs. A BRCA1 mutation carrier (...
