We have previously shown that the plasmid-encoded Pgp3 is a major virulence factor for C. muridarum induction of hydrosalpinx. We now report that Pgp5 also plays a significant role in the development of hydrosalpinx following C. muridarum induction. Pgp5 deficiency was introduced via either in-frame deletion (CM-Δpgp5) or premature stop codon installation (CM-pgp5S). Mice infected with either C...

Thank you very much for your special interest in our article. We only performed laparoscopic surgery in two cases due to ectopic pregnancy after IVF-ET and sclerotherapy. There were no other cases of laparoscopy due to pain or adhesion after hydrosalpinx sclerotherapy. Some patients complained of pain on the day of surgery or during immediate follow-up; however, no one complained of long-term p...

OBJECTIVES Isolated torsion of the fallopian tube is an uncommon cause of acute lower abdominal pain. It is often found in reproductive-age women and is found less in prepubertal and perimenopausal women. METHODS We describe a 70-year-old postmenopausal woman who presented with lower abdominal pain and discomfort. Ultrasonography revealed a well-defined, echo-free cystic mass measuring 5.3 cm...

Salpingectomy is largely used in case of hydrosalpinx in infertile women scheduled for assisted reproductive technologies (ART), whereas there is no consensus on its role in absence of hydrosalpinx. The current is a systematic literature review to collate all available evidence regarding salpingectomy as fertility enhancement procedure before ART in infertile patients. Our primary endpoint was ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate and compare the inflammatory response and mediators in the endometrium of patients with hydrosalpinges compared with normal controls. DESIGN Retrospective case-control study. SETTING Urban medical center. PATIENT(S) AND INTERVENTION(S) Hysterectomy samples were identified as being affected by hydrosalpinx or salpingitis (n = 30) and were age-matched with control samp...

The objective of this study was to assess the impact on pregnancy outcome of excising hydrosalpinx(ges) in patients with repeated in-vitro fertilization (IVF) failures. A group of 15 patients who had previously undergone failed IVF attempts and had unilateral or bilateral hydrosalpinx was subjected to an operative laparoscopy with excision of the affected tube(s). Of these, 10 patients underwen...

hydrosalpins (dilatation of fallpian tube that can be seen by hysterosalpingogeraphy. laparoscocpy, and in severe cases by sonography) is one of the probable confounding factors of assited – reproduction therapy (art) outcomes. this cohort study is conducted to determine the effects of hydrosalpins on ivf-et outcomes. for this, of the total number of patients who had approached the infertility ...

We describe the pathology of a unique case of Fallopian tube amebiasis, associated with hydrosalpinx, in a 21-year-old woman. She complained of lower abdominal pain, had a foul-smelling green vaginal discharge and fever during one week. There was a discrete increase in body temperature and a painful abdominal palpation at the lower right side, with signs of local peritoneal irritation. Patholog...
