Objective: To develop an experimental model of endometriosis in rats. Methods: Thirty adult female Wistar rats were used. The surgical technique consisted of median laparotomy with identification of the bicornuate uterus and resection of a 2-cm segment of the right uterine horn. A 0.25 cm flap was removed from that structure and sutured to the abdominal wall with the endometrial side facing the...

Background. Mullerian duct anomalies (MDAs) are congenital defects of the female genital system that arise from abnormal embryological development of the Mullerian ducts. A didelphys uterus, also known as a "double uterus," is one of the least common amongst MDAs. This report discusses a case of didelphys uterus that successfully conceived, carried her pregnancy to term, and delivered vaginally...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Hysteroscopy offers diagnostic accuracy and the ability to treat uterine pathology, but practitioners may be reluctant to perform it without a high index of suspicion because it traditionally requires an operating room. This study reviews the findings and feasibility of office-based diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy in an unselected in vitro fertilization (IVF) pop...

OBJECTIVE To determine the pathological patterns of fallopian tubes and uterus on hysterosalpingogrphy (HSG) examination in cases of infertility. METHODS Two years retrospective charts review of patients referred to our centre for HSG evaluation of infertility, from July 2008 to July 2010. RESULTS Four thousand one hundred eight hysterosalpingograms were carried out at our centre during the...

Objectives: To demonstrate the value of 3-dimensional (3-D) ultrasound (US) in the diagnosis of congenital uterine anomalies. Methods: Fifty one infertile patients referred to our US unit during 12 years period, with suspected diagnosis of congenital uterine anomalies by previous HSG or 2D US examinations, were evaluated by transvaginal 3-D US. The 3-D US diagnoses were compared to the initial ...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review discusses current diagnostic techniques for müllerian anomalies, reproductive outcome data, and management options in reproductive-age women. RECENT FINDINGS Multiple retrospective studies have investigated reproductive outcomes with müllerian anomalies, but few current prospective studies exist. Uterine anomalies are associated with normal and adverse reproducti...

Infertility is a public health problem in developed and developing countries. Diagnostic laparoscopy is a generally accepted procedure to detect pelvic organ pathologies affecting fertility. This study was undertaken to find out the tubal pathology contributing to primary and secondary infertility by laparoscopic examination. The study was carried out in the department of Gynaecology and Obstet...

The purpose of this review article was to analyze the literature on the prevalence, diagnosis and treatment of the congenital uterine anomalies and to discuss current dilemmas on their influence on reproductive outcome. Congenital uterine anomalies are commonly associated with repeated pregnancy failure, in particular an increased risk of first- and second-trimester miscarriages and preterm del...

Developmental anomalies of the mullerian ducts represent some of the most fascinating disorders that the obstetricians and gynecologists encounter. Incidence varies between0.110%.Our objective is to study the incidence and reproductive outcome in women with uterine anomalies. Reproductive performance of 74 women with uterine anomalies delivered in Modern Government and Maternity Hospital (MGMH)...
