Objective: To discuss a case of heterotopic cornual and tubal pregnancy managed with transvaginal potassium chloride (KCl) injection of cornual pregnancy and laparoscopic operation of tubal pregnancy.
Methods: The subject was a 30-year-old woman with twin pregnancy with a left cornual and a tubal pregnancy. The heterotopic cornual pregnancy was treated with ultrasonographically-guided transvaginal injection of KCl into the thorax of ectopic fetus, and the tubal pregnancy was treated with laparoscopic left salpingectomy.
Results: The woman was discharged on the 6th postoperative day. After complete ablation of the cornual and tubal pregnancy, the subject had no complications or side effects for the duration of her pregnancy up to the 37th week. Elective cesarean section was performed at 37 weeks and allowed the birth of 2 boys weighing 2,500 and 2,000 g and of normal development.
Conclusions: A minimally invasive approach should be considered in a hemodynamically stable patient to treat a first-trimester heterotopic pregnancy to maintain the intrauterine pregnancy with a satisfactory outcome.

Background Infertility affects a significant proportion of reproductive-age couples globally, with diverse causes. Diagnostic hystero-laparoscopy (DHL) is emerging as a preferred diagnostic tool for evaluating infertility, combining laparoscopy and hysteroscopy for comprehensive assessment. Objective The primary objective of this prospective study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility of DHL in identifying the causes of infertility in women.

Anti-phosphatidylserine/prothrombin antibodies (aPS/PT) are classified as non-criteria antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL), and are strongly associated with thrombosis and pregnancy complications linked to antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). This study aimed to investigate whether aPS/PT positivity is associated with adverse outcomes in vitro fertilization (IVF). The study included infertile women who tested positive aPS/PT and underwent IVF cycles, as well as infertile controls with pure tubal etiology.

Objective: To investigate the association between Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and the rate of embryo development, using time-lapse monitoring systems (TLM), compared to a control group of women with mechanical (tubal) factor infertility.
Design: A retrospective case-control study conducted in a university affiliated IVF unit.
Patients: Women with PCOS undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments and those with non-PCOS controls with tubal factor infertility only.

Study Question: Does a human fallopian tube (HFT) organoid model offer a favourable apical environment for human sperm survival and motility?
Summary Answer: After differentiation, the apical compartment of a new HFT organoid model provides a favourable environment for sperm motility, which is better than commercial media.
What Is Known Already: HFTs are the site of major events that are crucial for achieving an ongoing pregnancy, such as gamete survival and competence, fertilization steps, and preimplantation embryo development. In order to better understand the tubal physiology and tubal factors involved in these reproductive functions, and to improve still suboptimal in vitro conditions for gamete preparation and embryo culture during IVF, we sought to develop an HFT organoid model from isolated adult stem cells to allow spermatozoa co-culture in the apical compartment.
