The fallopian tubes are unique and im• .../' _ portant structures in the female genital tract and they form the most important si.ng!a area of infertility. The tubal factor is responsible for infertility in 21% (Stallworthy, 1963) to 47 % cases (Rubin, 1947). A variety of diagnostic procedures have been devised to evaluate the patency of the tubes, but they all have their limitations. Of these ...

Background: Tubal pathology ranks among the most frequent causes of subfertility, next to ovulatory disorders and sperm defects .There fore , assessment of tubal patency is a fundamental part of infertility workup. Investigation for tubal disease can be divided into radiological tests: hysterosalpingography (HSG) , selective salpingography and hystero-contrast-sonography (HyCoSy) , microbiologi...

BACKGROUND Tubal patency tests are routinely performed in the diagnostic work-up of subfertile patients, but it is unknown whether these diagnostic tests add value beyond the information obtained by medical history taking and findings at physical examination. We used individual patient data meta-analysis to assess this question. METHODS We approached authors of primary studies for data sets c...

Background: Tubal factor infertility accounts for approximately 25-35% of cases of female infertility. The evaluation of the fallopian tube is necessary to determine the management plan for infertility. Tubal patency can be diagnosed by hysterosalpingography (HSG) or laparoscopy with chromopertubation. The aim of this study was to determine the role of laparoscopy in the evaluation of tubal fac...

Tuboperitoneal factors are responsible for about 30 to 40% of female infertility. The incidence of tubal disease in infertility varies from country to country. In India it has been estimated to be about 40%.1 The prevalence of pelvic inflammatory disease and genital tract tuberculosis are common in our country and hence the incidence of tubal factor in infertile women is high.2 There are variou...

OBJECTIVE Guidelines are not in agreement on the most effective diagnostic scenario for tubal patency testing; therefore, we evaluated the cost-effectiveness of invasive tubal testing in subfertile couples compared with no testing and treatment. DESIGN Cost-effectiveness analysis. SETTING Decision analytic framework. POPULATION Computer-simulated cohort of subfertile women. METHODS We e...

OBJECTIVE To clarify the advantages and the influence to reproductive outcome after laparoscopic salpingotomy with and without suturing for tubal pregnancy. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of patients underwent laparoscopic salpingotomy from March 2012 to October 2014 who were willing to reserve their reproductive function and were able to be followed up. Based on the op...
