Infertilitas feminis caused by salpingemphraxis: therapeutic alliances of oviduct recanalization and video-laparoscope / 中华放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the clinical value of therapeutic alliances of oviduct recanalization and video-laparoscope in the treatment of infertilitas feminis caused by multiple salpingemphraxis. Methods Sixty-seven patients with salpingemphraxis in 127 oviducts complicated with adhesions in fimbriated extremities were enrolled into our study. All the patients underwent separation of adherences in fimbriated extremities and neostomy using a video-laparoscope 2 to 3 days after selective oviduct recanalization. The therapeutic effects were retrospectively reviewed focusing on recanalization rate of proximal three segments, complete recanalization rate, and pregnancy rate and relevant complications during the follow-up period were analyzed. And patients with infertilitas feminis in the follow-up period underwent repeated salpingography to determine whether oviduct was repeatedly obstructed. Results The therapeutic alliance of oviduct recanalization and video-laparoscope were performed successfully in this cohort. Owing to the treatment of oviduct recanalization, recanalization rate of proximal three segments was 97.6% oviducts (124/127). Due to the alliance of oviduct recanalization and video-laparoscope, complete rate of oviduct were 98.4% (122/124). One year after operation, the pregnancy rate, ectopic pregnancy rate, and non pregnancy rate were 58.2% (39/67), 4.5% (3/67), and 37.3% (25/67), respectively. The patients with non pregnancy were composed by repeated oviduct obstruction in 25.4% (17/67) and non obstruction in 11.9% (8/67). Conclusion Therapeutic alliances of oviduct recanalization and video-laparoscope could be an effective method for the treatment of infertilitas feminis caused by multiple salpingemphraxis, and be helpful for the enhancement of pregnancy rate.
