Introduction Proximal tubal obstruction accounts for 10-25% of tubal infertility. In the past reconstructive microsurgery was the only treatment option. Currently, tubal cannulation under hysteroscopic or radiologic control is performed both to confirm the diagnosis and recanalize the obstructed tubes. In this report, we present our preliminary experiences with hysteroscopic tubal recanalizatio...

Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infection is a common cause of tubal factor infertility, and is considered a contraindication for tubal surgery. In vitro fertilization with embryo transfer (IVF/ET) is the most widely used treatment for tubal factor infertility, including that caused by CT infection. Falloposcopy to re-canalize occluded tubes may also be useful therapeutically. It is unclear, however...

This retrospective cohort study was aimed to investigate the impact of endometriosis on the IVF/ICSI outcomes. A total of 1027 cycles of patients undergoing IVF/ICSI treatment in a reproductive medicine unit of academic hospital were enrolled. In the present study, 431 cycles of patients with endometriosis constituted the study group, including 152 cycles of patients with stage I-II endometrios...

BACKGROUND The occurrence of fluid accumulation within the uterine cavity was examined in women undergoing IVF to investigate its correlation with tubal disease and impact on the pregnancy outcome. METHODS A registry of ultrasound procedures spanning 5 years was retrospectively studied. RESULTS Thirty five out of 746 (4.7%) IVF cycles were identified as having uterine fluid accumulation, an...

Infertility is a critical component of reproductive health. The tuboperitoneal factors are responsible in about 25-37% cases of female infertility and hence evaluation of tubal patency represents a key step and a basic investigation in the assessment of infertile women. To carry out diagnosis of tubal factors by HSG and diagnostic laparoscopy and observe efficacy and to compare the effectivenes...
