ABSTRACT

Abstract Hydrosalpinx is a disease characterized by the obstruction of the salpinx, with progressive accumulation in the shape of a fluid-filled sac at the distal part of the tuba uterina, and closed to the ovary. Women with hydrosalpinges have lower implantation and pregnancy rates due to a combination of mechanical and chemical factors thought to disrupt the endometrial environment. Evidence suggests that the presence of hydrosalpinx reduces the rate of pregnancy with assisted reproductive technology. The main aim of the present is review to make an overview of the possible effects of hydrosalpinx on in vitro fertilization (IVF).We conducted a literature search on the PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and Google Scholar data bases regarding hydrosalpinx and IVF outcomes. Hydrosalpinx probably has a direct toxic effect on sperm motility and on the embryos. In addition, the increasing liquid inside the salpinges could alter the mechanisms of endometrial receptivity. The window of endometrial receptivity is essential in the implantation of blastocysts, and it triggers multiple reactions arising from the endometrium as well as the blastocysts. Hydrosalpinx could influence the expression of homeobox A10 (HOXA10) gene, which plays an essential role in directing embryonic development and implantation. Salpingectomy restores the endometrial expression of HOXA10; therefore, it may be one mechanism by which tubal

ABSTRACT

Antecedentes: Existe una tendencia global creciente de no realizar laparoscopia diagnóstica en el estudio de pacientes con infertilidad inexplicada e histerosalpingografía normal. Este tipo de manejo podría tener ciertos inconvenientes dado que existen lesiones, especialmente tuboperitoneales, que no son diagnosticadas y pudiesen influir en los resultados. Nuestro grupo maneja estas pacientes con laparoscopia diagnóstica/terapéutica y posteriormente tres ciclos de inseminación intrauterina. Objetivos: Validar nuestro manejo de la infertilidad inexplicada, estimar la frecuencia de patología pélvica en pacientes con infertilidad inexplicada con histerosalpingografía normal, evaluar la tasa de embarazo posterior a la resolución laparoscópica de su patología y revisar la literatura existente. Resultados: Se revisaron todas las cirugías laparoscópicas realizadas en pacientes con infertilidad inexplicada del Hospital Clínico de la Universidad Católica, entre los años 2007-2011. De estas, 57 pacientes cumplían los criterios de inclusión y 39 recibieron al menos 1 ciclo de inseminación intrauterina posterior al procedimiento. El 82,4 por ciento de las pacientes presentaron hallazgos a la laparoscopia, siendo los más prevalentes la endometriosis grado I y II (57,8 por ciento), y las adherencias pelvianas (43,8 por ciento). De las 57 pacientes que fueron sometidas a laparoscopia diagnóstica/terapéutica, sólo 25 completaron 3 ciclos de inseminación intrauterina posterior, 8 lograron concepción (32 por ciento). Conclusión: Nuestros resultados son similares a los expuestos en otros trabajos en términos de hallazgos patológicos y tasa de fertilidad post laparoscopia. Dado el escaso acceso a técnicas de fertilización in vitro en nuestro medio, nuestro manejo plantea una excelente alternativa para este grupo de pacientes.


Background: There is an increased global tendency for avoiding a diagnostic laparoscopic surgery, among patients with unexplained infertility and a normal histerosalpingography. This decision may have certain consequences, as there may be undiagnosed lesions, such as tuboperitoneal ones, which could have an impact in the management of these patients. Our group treats them with diagnostic therapeutic laparoscopy, followed by three cycles of intrauterine insemination. Objectives: Validate our management of unexplained infertility, estimate the frequency of pelvic pathology in patients with unexplained infertility with a normal histerosalpingography, evaluate the pregnancy rate after the laparoscopic resolution of their pathology, and review the existent literature. Results: We reviewed all laparoscopic surgeries performed in patients with unexplained infertility in Hospital Clínico de la Pontificia Universidad Católica, between 2007-2011. From these, 57 patients met the inclusion criteria, and 39 of them received at least one intrauterine insemination cycle after the procedure. Laparoscopic alterations were present in 82.4 percent of the patients, being the most prevalent ones endometriosis grade I and II (57.8 percent) and pelvic adhesions (43.8 percent). Of the 57 patients who underwent laparoscopy, only 25 completed three cycles of intrauterine insemination, 8 of which conceived (32 percent). Conclusion: Our results are similar to those exposed in other series, regarding pathologic findings and fertility rate after laparoscopy. As there is limited access to advanced reproductive techniques in our country, our management represents an excellent choice for this group of patients.

ABSTRACT

Torsion of uterine adnexa is an important cause of acute abdominal pain. Torsion of ovarian masses is quite common and isolated torsion of fallopian tube has also been reported in literature. However, torsion of para ovarian cyst is a very rare. We report a rare case of twisted para ovarian cyst resulting in secondary torsion of the fallopian tube. Torsion of fallopian tube and para ovarian cyst are usually seen in the reproductive age group. Physicians need to maintain a high index of suspicion for this uncommon and often difficult to diagnose cause of abdominal pain.

ABSTRACT

In June 2000, twenty-eight infertile couples were treated by in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer at our initial assisted reproduction programme carried out in conjunction with Midland Fertility Services, Aldridge, Birmingham, England. A pre-requisite for treatment was that on day 3 of the menstrual cycle the levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and oestradiol (E2) should be < 10 i mu/l and < 100 pg/ml respectively in the female partner. The ages of the women ranged from 26 to 42 years with a mean age of 35.5 years. Down regulation was carried out by using buserelin acetate 0.5 microgram subcutaneously from day 21 of the cycle for 21 days. This process was completed when the ovaries and pituitary gland were quiescent and the endometrial thickness < 4 mm in diameter. On completion of down regulation the gonadotrophin hormone, pergonal (dosage of 150-450 units) was used for ovarian hyperstimulation. A total of 294 oocytes (mean of 10.5, range 2-45) were retrieved of which 138 were fertilized (mean of 4.9, range of 0-28). Twenty-four patients each received a mean of two embryos. Five patients (20.8) had positive pregnancy tests. Three patients (0.1) developed ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), one had the severe, and two, the mild form of the syndrome. All three cases were treated successfully. The success at the initial IVF controlled ovarian hyperstimulation augers well for the future of infertile couples seeking treatment at the Fertility Management Unit, The University of the West Indies, Jamaica.

ABSTRACT

Se revisaron 5,100 Biopsias realizadas en el Servicio de Anatomía Patológica en el lapso de noviembre de 1994 a noviembre de 1995, encontrando un total de 100 quistes paratubáricos. El 80 por ciento de los casos fue hallazgo quirúrgico el 40 por ciento de las pacientes tuvieron manifestaciones clínicas de dolor y 3 por ciento de las mismas abdomen agudo por torción del quiste que ameritó cirugía de urgencia. En 38 por ciento de los casos el informe ultrasonofráfico fue de Quistes de Ovario, y en 62 por ciento no fue detectado por este método. Con respecto al tamaño: 84 por ciento de los quistes paratubarios fueron menos de 6 cm, 12 por ciento entre 6 y 12 cm. y 4 por ciento de 12-18 cm. El informe Histopatológico fue quiste seroso (57 por ciento) y quiste simple (43 por ciento)

ABSTRACT

Se estudió la presencia de IgG e IGM específicas contra C. Trachomatis en dos poblaciones de mujeres, una de embarazadas y otra de estériles con obstrucción tubaria comprobada por histerosalpingografia y/o laparoscopía. Se empleó un método de inmunofluorescencia indirecta sobre células MacCoy infectadas con el serotipo L2 BU434 de C. Trachomatis. El 15,6 por ciento (5/32) de las mujeres estériles presentó IgM específica anti-C. trachomatis y el 75 por ciento (24/32) IgG. El 4,8 por ciento (4/83) de las embarazadas presentó IgM y el 20,5 por ciento (17/83) IgG. La frecuencia de detección de IgG anti-C. trachomatis fue significativamente mayor (p < 0,000) en la población de mujeres estériles que en la de embarazadas. Además, las medias geométricas del título de anticuerpos en mujeres estériles fue mayor (90) que en las fértiles (70). En 12 de 14 (85 por ciento) mujeres estériles con serología positiva se observaron imágines laparoscópicas compatibles con infección por C. trachomatis. Se detectó antígeno de clamidia en 2 de 10 biopsias de trompas por inmunofluorescencia con anticuerpos monoclonales, siendo todos los aislamientos negativos. Nuestros resultados señalan la importancia de C. trachomatis en la esterilidad por obstrucción tubaria y la necesidad de incorporar a los análisis ginecológicos del diagnóstico de este agente a fin de prevenir la infección neonatal y los riesgos de esterilidad

ABSTRACT

La cirugia de la parte distal de la trompa de Falopio puede ir desde la lisis de adherencias para mejorar la relacion anatomica entre la trompa y el ovario, a la salpingostomia en la cual se crea un nuevo ostium en una trompa gravemente lesionada. El exito de esta cirugia depende de varios factores: 1.- El grado de dano de la trompa. 2.- La edad de la paciente. 3.- La tecnica quirurgica utilizada. Es obvio que el cirujano no tiene control en los dos primeros factores, los cuales tienen un gran impacto en el resultado final. La clasificacion de la enfermedad distal de la trompa de Falopio es importante porque hay una gran variacion en el pronostico. Este es inversamente proporcional al dano de la fimbria, o sea entre mayor sea el dano, peor es el pronostico. Algunas pacientes presentan un mejor pronostico si se observan a la histerosalpingografia pliegues en la porcion ampular de las trompas obstruidas. El tamano del hidrosalpinx esta relacionado directamente con el grado de dano de la fimbria; los hidrosalpinx pequenos tienen un mejor pronostico que los grandes, cuando se realiza la salpingostomia. Es importante por lo anterior realizar una clasificacion adecuada del dano de la porcion distal de la trompa de Falopio con el objeto de dar un pronostico real al paciente.
