OBJECTIVES Mycoplasma genitalium has been associated with cervicitis, endometritis, and tubal factor infertility. Because the ability of this bacterium to ascend and infect the fallopian tube remains undefined, we performed an investigation to determine the prevalence of M genitalium in fallopian tube, endometrial, and cervical specimens from women laparoscopically diagnosed with acute salpingi...

To evaluate the effects of antimicrobial and antiinflammatory drugs on oviductal pathology in chronic chlamydial upper genital tract infection, the fallopian tubes of 40 female Macaca nemestrina were inoculated with Chlamydia trachomatis and randomly assigned to treatment with doxycycline (n = 10), doxycycline plus ibuprofen (n = 10), doxycycline plus triamcinolone (n = 10), or placebo (n = 10)...

background: reversal of tubal ligation is requested by some women for various reasons. the present study aims to determine the rate of pregnancy after tubal ligation reversal. case: in these case series, we reported fifteen women who requested tuboplasty after tubal ligation. in these cases reversal of tubal ligation was done in 15 women. pregnancy occurred in 4 women (26.6%). two term pregnanc...

After surgery for gangrenous - perforated appendicitis, miscarriage occurs in 11%, infertility 62% of cases. The aim the study was to develop an algorithm diagnosis and treatment reproductive dysfunction women who underwent common appendicular peritonitis childhood. 154 girls aged 3 15 years were examined. results showed that various pathologies from system (ovarian failure, inflammatory proces...

BACKGROUND The incidence of failed abdominal bilateral tubal ligation (BTL) is quite low. Most often the pregnancy following BTL is ectopic in location. The association of concurrent acute appendicitis with ectopic pregnancy is also very rare. From 1960 till 2008 only 23 such cases of ectopic pregnancy with appendicitis managed by open surgery have been reported in the medical literature. CAS...

Aim: The study was conducted with the aim of studying histopathological changes in ectopic pregnancy in the fallopian tube and correlate them with clinical history. Methodology: Fifty cases of tubal ectopic were studied retrospectively to compare the histopathological changes in the lining of fallopian tube. Routine haematoxylin and eosin stain with special stains were employed to study the sec...

Background. Chlamydia infections often follow an asymptomatic course but may damage the reproductive tract. Chlamydia antibodies in serum are used as markers for past infections and can relate to tubal pathology and infertility. This "proof of principle" study aimed to assess whether Chlamydia antibodies are detectable in easier to obtain, noninvasive, vaginal mucosa samples and relate to curre...

OBJECTIVE To compare tuboperitoneal factors of infertile women by hysterosalpingography (HSG) and laparoscopy. METHODS In this cohort study, 82 infertile cases were evaluated retrospectively by laparoscopy, 3 months subsequent to HSG in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Medical School of Dicle University, Diyarbakir, Turkey, between March 2004 and April 2006. The findings of HSG an...

Ascension to the oviduct is necessary for Chlamydia to induce tubal infertility. Using the Chlamydia muridarum induction of hydrosalpinx mouse model, we have demonstrated a significant role of the uterotubal junction in preventing chlamydial ascending infection. First, delivery of C. muridarum to either side of the uterotubal junction resulted in significant reduction in live organisms from the...
