Non-tubal ectopic pregnancies are a rare subgroup of ectopic pregnancies implanted at sites other than the Fallopian tube. Mortality from non-tubal ectopic pregnancies is higher compared with that for tubal ectopic pregnancies, and they are becoming more common, partly due to the rising incidence of Caesarean sections and use of assisted reproductive technologies. Non-tubal ectopic pregnancies ...

number of human lives which have been saved by the advance of modern surgical knowledge and treatment in this direction. As regards the causation of extra-uterine gestation, the author cites 43 cases, in which no evidence rof preexisting inflammation of uterine appendages could be elicited, the factor appearing to be mechanical obstruction. Passing on, the author ably describes the various form...

OBJECTIVES Using a statistical modelling approach, our study aim is to determine reliable age-related estimates of the risk of all-cause tubal factor infertility (TFI) following past or current chlamydial infection in women in Scotland. METHOD Using data from several sources, a Markov-Chain Monte Carlo model was used to estimate the age-related risk of TFI given genital chlamydia infection at...

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of sexual dysfunction and associated risk factors in women who had undergone tubal sterilization and those who had not undergone tubal sterilization. Methods: In this case-controlled sectional study, 100 women who underwent tubal sterilization were included as the case group and 100 women who were healthy, reproductive, and sexually...

As part of successful human reproduction, the Fallopian tube must provide a suitable environment for pre-implantation development of the embryo and for efficient transport of the embryo to the uterus for implantation. These functions are coordinated by paracrine interactions between tubal epithelial, smooth muscle and immune cells and the cells of the developing embryo. Alterations in these sig...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine, in women with primary infertility, whether specific characteristics or behavioural factors are associated with the various pathological conditions identified as contributing to the infertility. DESIGN Case-control study. SETTING Seven institutions in the USA or Canada. PARTICIPANTS Study subjects were 1750 women who presented with primary infertility, among w...

BACKGROUND Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is the most frequently used diagnostic measure for simultaneously determining uterine abnormalities and tubal status among subfertile women. Despite several broader advantages such as availability and increased experience, the subjectivity involved during administration of the HSG procedure itself, and necessary imaging review, decreases the reliability an...

background: ovarian pregnancy is a rare form of the non-tubal ectopic pregnancy. it ends with rupture before the end of the first trimester. one of the important risk factors for ovarian pregnancy is in the use of intra uterine devices (iud). case:  we report here one such uncommon case of ovarian ectopic pregnancy. our patient is a 30 years old multiparous woman with two previous cesarean sect...

Pomeroy tubal ligation is a widely-used method for surgical female sterilization. A laparoscopic technique of Pomeroy tubal ligation using endoloop sutures is compared with the conventional technique of Pomeroy tubal ligation by minilaparotomy. Forty-four women requiring sterilization were randomly selected for either laparoscopy (n = 24) or minilaparotomy (n = 20). Mean operative time in the l...

The objective of this study was to evaluate whether robotic tubal reanastomosis after segmental resection of tubal pregnancy is a feasible means of preserving tubal integrity and natural fertility in those with compromised contralateral tubal condition.The study was performed at a university medical center in a retrospective manner where da Vinci robotic system-guided segmental resection of tub...
