OBJECTIVES We conducted a prospective blinded study to evaluate the costs, accuracy, risks, and benefits of 3-dimensional (3D) transvaginal sonography compared to hysterosalpingography. METHODS A total of 101 women aged 26 to 44 years with evidence of uterine anomalies were enrolled. All participants had routine hysterosalpingography as part of their infertility evaluation as well as 3D trans...

BACKGROUND Leiomyomata is the most frequent gynecological neoplasm. One of the major complications of myomectomy is intrauterine adhesion (synechiae). OBJECTIVE To evaluate and compare the rate and severity of synechiae formation after myomectomy by laparotomy and laparoscopy. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this non-randomized interventional trial, hysteroscopy was performed in all married fertil...

We present 2 contrasting cases of congenital interalveolar synechiae. The first occurred in the setting of Van der Woude syndrome and was associated with a cleft palate. In the second case, it was an isolated abnormality and there was no contributory family history or syndromic associations. We review the literature on interalveolar synechiae and discuss its management, implications, and geneti...

Of 410 cases of spontaneous or induced abortion in the first or second trimester that were followed up, 95 were infertile. 18 of these had amenorrhea and 12 had oligomenorrhea. Amenorrhea and oligorrhea were more prevalent among the women who were over 31. Amenorrhea, oligomenorrhea, and infertility were more frequent after spontaneous than after induced abortion. Asymptomatic tubal block r...

HSG plays an important role in the evaluation of abnormalities related to the uterus and fallopian tubes. Uterine abnormalities that can be detected at HSG include congenital anomalies, polyps, leiomyomas, surgical ch...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence of "masked" pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome in eyes with circular posterior synechiae receiving antiglaucomatous therapy with miotics. DESIGN Cross-sectional prospective study. METHODS Twenty-eight eyes of 27 consecutive patients with circular posterior synechiae and a history of miotic drug use without previous intraocular surgery, inflammation, or ...

Purpose: To determine the pathomechanism of increased intraocular pressure after penetrating and lamellar keratoplasty based on clinical observation literature data.
 Materials methods: Morphometric analysis anterior segment eye using spectroscopic optical coherence tomography, gonioscopy biomicroscopy.
 Results: Pre- postoperative tomography scans in patients reveal deformation perip...

(2006) with interest, but I need to give some opinions about the use of this Doppler-guided transvaginal clamp. First, it is possible that the pelvic ureter will be occluded (Al-Awadi et al., 2005) when the transvagi-nal clamp closes. In this case, the ureter could be damaged, an...
