Related factors associated with pelvic adhesion and its influence on fallopian tube recanalization in infertile patients / 中华妇产科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate factors with pelvic adhesions and the effect of different degrees pelvic adhesions on fallopian tube recanalization in infertile patients.Methods Total of 527 infertile patients undergoing hysteroscopy and laparoscopic surgery in Affiliated Hospital of Chinese People's Armed Police Forccs Logistics College were studied retrospectively.According to the extent of pelvic adhesions,tubal umbrella adhesions and atresia,377 cases were classified into adhesion groups,including 73 cases in grade Ⅰ,221 cases in grade Ⅱ,75 cases in grade Ⅲ and 8 cases in grade Ⅳ based on adhesion score.The 150 cases with no obvious pelvic adhesion were matched as control group.Among 8 cases with grade Ⅳ ahesion were exluded from ahesion group the relationship between pelvic adhesions and related history,abdominal lesions,tubal patency and the prognosis were studied.Results(1)Related factorsthe frequency of pelvic adhesion and more than 7 years of infertility of 23.9％(88/369)in adhesion group were significantly higher than 12.0％(18/150)in control groups.(2)Historycompared with the control group(12.7 ％,19/150;28.7％,43/150;11.3％,17/150;12.0％,18/150;17.3％,26/150),patients with pelvic adhesions present more incidence abortion(23.6％,87/369),uterine cavity operation(38.2％,141/369),ectopic pregnancy(20.9％,77/369),pelvic inflammatory disease(25.5％,94/369)and abdominopelvic surgery (31.4％,116/369).(3)Endoscopy explorationthe incidence of hydrosalpinx(24.7％,91/369),tube distorted(15.7％,58/369)and salpingostomy(72.9％,269/369)in adhesion group were higher than those in control group(2.0％,3/150;4.0％,6/150;12.0％,18/150),but relatively lower incidence of pelvic endometriosis lesions(5.7％,21/369)and mesosalpinx cysts(16.3％,60/369)than those in control group(16.0％,24/150;30.0％,45/150).The rate of proximal tubal recanalization(59.5％,91/153)in adhesion group was lower than 75.4％(52/69)in control group.However,the rate of distant tubal recanalization of 84.4％,(281/333)in adhesion group and;13/15 in control group didn't show statistical difference.(4)Prognosisthe rate of ectopic pregnancy of 9.7％(29/299)in adhesion group was significantly higher than 3.1％(4/128)in control group.Among cases with grade Ⅲ adhesion exhibited the highest rate of ectopic pregnancy(13.0％,7/54;OR =4.62,95％ CI1.29-16.50).(5)Multivariate analysis:it was found that more than two drug abortions(OR =3.29,95％ CI1.34-8.07),pelvic and (or)abdominal surgery history(OR =2.20,95％ CI1.35-3.57)and pelvic inflammatory disease history (OR =1.54,95％ CI1.21-1.97)were risk factors with pelvic adhesions.Conclusion More than or equal to two drug abortion history,pelvic inflammatory disease and pelvic and abdominal surgery damage were important factors for pelvic adhesions of infertility patients,which may decrease the possibility of proximal tubal recanalization and increase ectopic pregnancy risk.
