Objective: To determine the impact of salpingectomy on the ovarian reserve. Comparisons are made with the contralateral side in patients with unilateral salpingectomy undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles.

Study Design: Patients under 40 with unilateral salpingectomy and without history of ovarian surgery were selected for the multicentre retrospective study. Women with bilateral salpingectomy and history of endometriosis were excluded from the study. Antral follicle count, controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) parameters and number of collected oocytes were the main outcome measures of the study.

Results: A total of 56 patients were eligible for this study. The mean age of the patients was 31.6 ± 4.7 years. The reasons for the salpingectomy were hydrosalpinx (39.3%, n = 22) and ruptured ectopic pregnancy (60.7%, n = 34). The ongoing pregnancy rate per embryo transfer was 30.6%. There was no statistically significant difference between the operated and non-operated sides in antral follicle count (AFC), follicles  ≥ 17 mm and 10-17 mm on day of human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), or number of aspirated oocytes. In the subgroup analysis, AFC, number of growing follicles on day of hCG and number of collected oocytes were comparable between the ectopic pregnancy group and hydrosalpinx group.

Conclusion: The study suggests that salpingectomy is not associated with detrimental effects on AFC and ovarian response.

Introduction: It is rare for adult female patients to present with incarcerated inguinal hernias containing ovary, fallopian tube, or uterine tissue. Potential surgical treatment options for incarcerated inguinal hernias containing ovary, fallopian tube or uterine tissue include open inguinal hernia repair (IHR), laparoscopic or robotic IHR.

Case Description: Herein, we report a case of an adult female presenting with a unilateral incarcerated inguinal hernia containing ectopic pregnancy.

Article Synopsis
  • Negative pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) occurs when a rapid drop in pressure in the chest cavity leads to fluid buildup in the lungs, often due to airway blockages, and can cause severe breathing problems.
  • This case study highlights a young female patient's experience with NPPE after undergoing surgery for an ectopic pregnancy, where she faced a sudden drop in oxygen levels and breathing difficulties right after being taken off the ventilator.
  • The medical team responded quickly with treatments like oxygen therapy and medications, resulting in her recovery and discharge from the hospital after six days of care.

Background: This study aimed to determine the alteration of endometrial expression levels of genes and HOX transcript antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR) in mid-luteal phase endometrium in patients with hydrosalpinx before and after salpingectomy.

Materials And Methods: In this prospective study, 14 infertile women with unilateral hydrosalpinx who were scheduled for laparoscopic salpingectomy were evaluated. The presence of hydrosalpinx was confirmed by hysterosalpingography or transvaginal 2D-ultrasonography.

Introduction: With the growing population of pancreas transplant recipients followed long-term, some female recipients are going to require surgical intervention for gynecologic symptoms and pathologies. Currently, there is a lack of literature describing how to approach this population and whether pelvic gynecologic procedures (GYN) can be performed safely given the proximity of the pancreatic (and possibly renal) allograft. In this single-center retrospective analysis, all pancreas transplant recipients that subsequently underwent GYN were reviewed.

Bilateral Tubal Ectopic Pregnancy: A Case Report and Review.

Obstetrics and Gynecology, Southern Illinois Healthcare Foundation (SIHF) Healthcare, Olney, USA.

A bilateral ectopic pregnancy is a rare condition, and even more so with spontaneous conception. The known risk factors and clinical presentation are shared by both unilateral and bilateral ectopic pregnancy. This poses a risk for misdiagnosis, treatment failure, and, ultimately, maternal mortality.
