This overview describes and illustrates the clinical applications of three-dimensional transvaginal sonography in reproductive medicine. Its main applications include assessment of uterine anomalies, intrauterine pathology, tubal patency, polycystic ovaries, ovarian follicular monitoring and endometrial receptivity. It is also useful for detailed evaluation of failed and/or ectopic pregnancy. T...

The evaluation of fallopian tubes after failed tubal ligation can be difficult because conventional histopathological techniques are unable to section the metal clips when in situ. Once the clips have been removed, any evidence of tube patency is lost. This report describes a technique of embedding and sectioning that enables sections to be made while the metal clips are still in situ. This is ...

DESIGN Retrospective analysis. SETTING Clear Passage Therapies, Inc, clinic, Gainesville, Florida. PATIENTS 28 infertile women (mean age = 35.2) w...

Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is a diagnostic modality still commonly used to evaluate tubal occlusion in infertility management. We evaluated the treatment benefit achieving patency and spontaneous pregnancy women with bilateral our resource poor setting using water soluble contrast medium. Objective: To assess proportion of that achieved following repeat HSG evaluation associated factors. Mater...

ABSTARCT Objectives: To determine the demographic pattern and clinical presentation of 23 infertile women with intraoperative diagnosis of adenomyosis followed by histopathologic confirmation. Methodology: A review of 23 consecutive infertile women that underwent surgery due to preoperative misdiagnosis for uterine fibroids over a period of 5 years. Results: The patients mean age was 37.3 years...

BACKGROUND Tubal occlusion is the commonest cause of female infertility in the developing societies. Hysterosalpingography remains a vital method of assessing tubal patency especially in resource limited settings such as ours. OBJECTIVE To review the pattern of hysterosalpingographic findings among women being investigated for infertility in Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi, ...

The two main conservative treatment alternatives for tubal pregnancy, methotrexate administration and laparoscopic salpingostomy are under constant review. Recently, expectant management of tubal pregnancy has become increasingly popular. In this review, we assess the outcome of conservative management modalities for extrauterine pregnancy and compare the results of treatment with methotrexate ...
