ABSTRACT
The outcome of 93 consecutive cycles of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET) treatment in 52 women with "frozen pelvis" is reported. The treatment termination rate due to inadequate ovarian stimulation was 20%. The mean +/- standard deviation of the number of follicles of mean diameter greater than or equal to 15 mm, oocytes recovered and fertilized per operation, and embryos replaced per cycle were 4.80 +/- 2.07, 4.02 +/- 2.32, 2.54 +/- 2.06, and 2.57 +/- 1.30, respectively. The pregnancy rate per ET was 29.6%. These data compare with those of other treated women with adhesion-free ovaries over the same period, suggesting that pelvic adhesive disease has no adverse effect on outcome of IVF-ET.

PIP: The endometrial condition at removal of the copper-T 200 IUD was studied in 100 cases fitted with copper T devices as a method of family planning for a period ranging from 6 to 24 months. In all cases, the device was removed for medical or personal reasons. Detailed personal, menstrual, and obstetric histories were taken. A complete physical examination was performed with general, abdominal, and pelvic examination. An abnormal endometrial pattern was present in 64% of cases and was not related to age, parity or duration of device use. Abnormal findings had significantly increased in cases presenting pain, vaginal discharge and symptoms of pelvic inflammatory diseases. Chronic inflammatory cellular reaction was present in 23% of cases. 16% of the cases showed a minimal inflammatory reaction with stromal edema.^ieng
