introduction: chlamydia trachomatis infection is a common pathogen in sexual transmitted disease, but most of female patients with this infection are asymptomatic. sequealae include pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility and ectopic pregnancy. the aim of the study was to determine the association between chlamydia trachomatis and tubal factor infertility, if significant. methods: this prospec...

background: endometriosis is one of the most challenging diseases that constitute 20% - 40% of women searching for their infertility diagnosis. objective: this study was undertaken in order to compare the outcome of in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ivf/icsi) in women with endometriosis, and tubal factor infertility as controls. materials and methods: from 2005 to 2006 a ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of male factor infertility on intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcomes compared with a control group presenting isolated tubal factor. METHOD This retrospective study included 743 couples undergoing ICSI as a result of isolated male factor and a control group consisting of 179 couples undergoing ICSI as a result of isolated tubal factor, performed in a...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to examine the impact of the presence of endometrial fluid (seen through ultrasound) on the outcome of IVF cycles and its association with the aetiology of infertility, in tubal and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) cases specifically. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated the charts of all PCOS and tubal factor infertility patients that underwent IVF...

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...

We reviewed the place of tubal surgery in the era of assisted reproductive technology. Reversal of tubal ligation is one of the main indications for tubal microsurgery. Adhesiolysis has the best results if the adhesion is the only factor responsible for infertility. There are no differences between adhesiolysis by laparoscopy or by laparotomy, and so laparoscopy must be preferred. Proximal tuba...

s: Objective: To find out whether Hysterosalpigography (HSG), can be used as initial method for assessing tubal factor of infertility, instead of more invasive method like diagnostic laparoscopy. Methods: Retrospective analysis of 75 cases, who had attended infertility Clinic at Medical College, Ujjain, and underwent HSG as initial test followed by Laparoscopy from November 2005 to December 201...
