BACKGROUND Cases of endometriosis with no tubal damage are associated with infertility, suggesting an immunological rather than mechanical barrier to reproduction. Laparoscopy and falloposcopy results of clinically asymptomatic women undergoing investigation of infertility were correlated with the outcomes of microbiological screening for Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Mycoplasma...

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...

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...

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...

AIMS To investigate the effects of elevated nitric oxide (NO) levels in peritoneal fluids (PF) on oocyte fertilization and pre-implantation embryo development, and the relation of those effects to endometriosis-associated infertility. METHODS PF from women undergoing laparoscopy for infertility of minor endometriosis, tubal blockage and operation for tubal ligation was aspired at the pouch of...

Objectives: To compare between hysterosalpingography (HSG) and laparoscopic findings in patients tested for infertility thereby to determine the significance of latter examination. Methods: This was a descriptive study performed two Gynecology departments Dakar (Senegal). Included were 84 with suspicious tubal-infertility who underwent HSG followed by laparoscopy. The Kappa (K) statistics used ...

INTRODUCTION Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is still a commonly used investigation in the evaluation of the female genital tract and the main indication for HSG is infertility. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to find the pathology detected at HSG in patients with infertility in our setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review of 289 consecutive patients who underwent hysterosa...

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...

background: more than 70 million couples suffer from infertility worldwide. the aim of this study was to evaluate the fertility outcomes after laparoscopic fimbrioplasty and neosalpingostomy in female infertility. methods: laparoscopic distal tuboplasty was carried out for 402 cases at the gynecological endoscopic surgery and human reproductive teaching hospital in yaoundé-cameroon in central a...
