Randomized comparison between two microlaparoscopic techniques for partial salpingectomy.

OBJECTIVE: We compared 2 techniques for performing a partial salpingectomy by using microlaparoscopy and either bipolar coagulation or loop ligation. METHODS: A 3-mm transumbilical laparoscope with secondary midline port sites midway and suprapubically was used to perform a partial salpingectomy in 109 women desiring permanent sterilization. Each patient was randomly assigned to undergo a tubal resection either after Pomeroy ligation (n= 54) or after bipolar coagulation with Kleppinger forceps (n=55). Postoperative pain, as assessed using a 10-point visual analog scale, was the primary comparison endpoint. RESULTS: No technical difficulties with either technique required conversion to a minilaparotomy. The mean time to remove both tubal segments was not different between techniques (7 minutes, 21 seconds; range, 4 minutes, 25 seconds to 15 minutes, 43 seconds). Each segment (mean, 1.6 cm; range, 0.8 to 3.5 cm) was confirmed in the operating room, then histologically. Postoperative pain at 6 hours was scored similarly (median, ligation 4.6, coagulation 4.0 of 10). Outpatient recovery was the same, unless pelvic pain required overnight observation (ligation, 4 patients; coagulation, 2 patients). CONCLUSION: Partial salpingectomy, using microlaparoscopy with either bipolar coagulation or loop ligation, was performed with comparable ease, confirmation of the removed tube, and similar postoperative discomfort.     

输卵管积水处理方式对体外受精-胚胎移植临床结局的影响

目的探讨输卵管积水的不同腹腔镜手术处理方式对体外受精-胚胎移植(IVF-ET)临床结局的影响。方法回顾性分析2006年1月至2007年7月因输卵管因素在本中心行常规IVF-ET治疗的294例不育患者的资料,按IVF-ET前腹腔镜下输卵管积水处理方式分组:A组:双侧输卵管近端结扎术28例;B组:双侧输卵管造口术42例;C组:双侧输卵管切除术64例;D组:输卵管阻塞不伴积水80例;E组:单或双侧输卵管积水80例。比较5组患者在IVF-ET周期中卵巢对超排卵的反应性及临床结局的影响。结果C组的窦卵泡数少于B组,发育的卵泡数及获卵数少于其他4组,均有显著性差异(P<0.05);与其他4组相比,C组使用促性腺激素(Gn)的支数最多,但无显著性差异(P>0.05);E组的胚胎植入率为15.9%,临床妊娠率为27.5%,为各组间最低,其中胚胎植入率与A、C和D组比较有显著性差异,临床妊娠率与A和D组比较有显著性差异(P<0.05);各组流产率E组最高(22.7%),其次为B组(14.4%),E与C组(4%)比较有显著性差异(P<0.05);异位妊娠率E组最高,其次为B组,但各组间无显著性差异(P>0.05)。结论输卵管积水对IVF-ET结局有负面影响,对输卵管积水进行适当预处理有助于改善其临床结局。输卵管近端结扎术不降低卵巢反应性,异位妊娠率及流产率低,是IVF-ET前输卵管积水预处理较理想手术方式。     

经阴道实时三维子宫输卵管超声造影成像技术评估单侧输卵管切除术史患者对侧输卵管通畅性

目的： 探讨经阴道实时三维子宫输卵管超声造影成像技术（real-time three-dimensional hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography,RT-3D-HyCoSy）对评估单侧输卵管切除术史患者对侧输卵管通畅性的应用价值。方法： 选取2018年3月—2021年12月于首都医科大学附属北京友谊医院妇科门诊就诊有单侧输卵管切除术史且有生育需求的育龄期患者66例,运用经阴道RT-3D-HyCoSy检查其对侧输卵管通畅性。根据造影结果输卵管是否通畅,分为通畅组、通而不畅组和阻塞组,比较3组患者疼痛评分。根据造影过程中是否发生造影剂逆流,分为有逆流组和无逆流组,比较2组患者的子宫内膜厚度和输卵管阻塞率。结果： 因1例患者子宫明显后屈,造影管卡在剖宫产术后的子宫前壁瘢痕处,置管未成功,故成功收集65例结果,超声造影显示输卵管35条（53.8%）通畅,15条（23.1%）通而不畅,15条（23.1%）阻塞。造影过程中13例（20%）发生子宫肌层造影剂逆流,52例（80%）未发生。输卵管通畅组、通而不畅组、阻塞组患者疼痛评分比较,差异有统计学意义（F=56.469,P<0.001）,阻塞组大于通而不畅组,通而不畅组大于通畅组（P<0.001）。有逆流组和无逆流组的子宫内膜厚度（t=0.163,P=0.872）和输卵管阻塞率（χ²=3.385,P=0.066）比较,差异均无统计学意义。结论： 经阴道RT-3D-HyCoSy能较好地评估单侧输卵管切除术史患者对侧输卵管的通畅性,患者耐受性较好,能为临床提供可视性强的图片信息,为生殖医学科医生预防此类患者再次发生异位妊娠及选择助孕方式提供了重要依据。     

Does Previous Salpingectomy Improve Implantation and Pregnancy Rates in Patients with Severe Tubal Factor Infertility who are Undergoing In Vitro Fertilization? A Pilot Prospective Randomized Study

Objective: To evaluate the implantation rate and pregnancy rate (PR) in patients with severe tubal factor infertility who were undergoing IVF. Patients who had undergone salpingectomy were compared with those who had not.

Design: A prospective randomized study.

Setting: A department of obstetrics and gynecology at a university hospital.

Patient(s): Thirty patients who previously had undergone salpingectomy and 30 patients who had not undergone salpingectomy before IVF treatment.

Intervention(s): Laparoscopy with or without salpingectomy followed by IVF with the use of combined GnRH agonist and hMG therapy in a long stimulation protocol.

Main Outcome Measure(s): Embryo implantation rate and ongoing PR per transfer. The cumulative PRs were compared for the two groups of patients.

Result(s): After the first IVF attempt, the implantation rate was 10.4% in the group with salpingectomy and 4.6% in the group without salpingectomy. For all IVF attempts, the respective embryo implantation rates in the two groups were 13.4% and 8.6%. The ongoing PR per transfer was 34.2% in the group with salpingectomy compared with 18.7% in the group without salpingectomy. After four IVF attempts, the probability of becoming pregnant was greater in the group of patients with salpingectomy (75%) than in the group without salpingectomy (63%).

Conclusion(s): Previous salpingectomy in patients with severe tubal factor infertility who are undergoing IVF seems to increase the embryo implantation rate and the PR per cycle of IVF. This monocentric study must be followed by other similar studies to allow for a metaanalysis and confirm this clear trend with definitive evidence.     

Bilateral salpingectomy can reduce the risk of ovarian cancer in the general population: A meta-analysis

BackgroundThe results of recent studies have suggested that high-grade serous ovarian cancer predominantly arises within the fallopian tubes. The reduction of ovarian cancer (OC) risk in women with a history of bilateral salpingectomy (BS) has been reported. We performed a meta-analysis to determine the impact of BS in preventing OC in the general population.MethodsWe searched the PubMed, MEDLINE, and EMBASE databases and CENTRAL in the Cochrane Library for all English-language articles published up to January 2015, using the key words ‘ovarian cancer’ and ‘bilateral salpingectomy.’ Odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated by standard meta-analysis techniques.ResultsOf the 77 studies retrieved, three were included in this meta-analysis, including one cohort study and two population-based case-control studies with 3509 patients who underwent BS and 5,655,702 controls who did not undergo salpingectomy. Over the combined study period, 29 of the 3509 BS patients developed OC compared with 44,006 of the 5,655,702 without salpingectomy. The meta-analysis results based on the fixed effects model revealed a significant decrease in the risk of OC occurrence in the patients who underwent BS relative to the controls (OR = 0.51, 95% CI 0.35–0.75, I² = 0%). This pattern was also observed in subgroup analysis for the study type.ConclusionsOur results suggest that removal of the fallopian tubes is an effective measure to reduce OC risk in the general population. Therefore, prophylactic bilateral salpingectomy should be considered for women who require hysterectomy with benign indications or sterilisation procedures.     

Vaginal Hysterectomy with Salpingectomy for Essure Insert Removal

Study Objective

To evaluate the feasibility of an en-bloc salpingectomy at the time of vaginal hysterectomy for removal of Essure inserts.

The cost-effectiveness of opportunistic salpingectomy versus standard tubal ligation at the time of cesarean delivery for ovarian cancer risk reduction

Objectives

Opportunistic salpingectomy is a cost-effective strategy recommended for ovarian cancer (OvCa) risk reduction at the time of gynecologic surgery in women who have completed childbearing. We aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of opportunistic salpingectomy compared to standard tubal ligation (TL) during cesarean delivery.

Persistent ectopic pregnancy following ipsilateral “salpingectomy”

Persistent ectopic pregnancy (PEP) following ipsilateral “salpingectomy” is a rare occurrence. This report describes this uncommon condition in a 26-year-old woman who presented with a sudden onset of right fossa iliac pain following an earlier salpingectomy. At laparoscopy, a persistent ipsilateral EP in the right fallopian tube stump was found. At the initial laparoscopy, an endoloop was used for salpingectomy, and a tubal stump of about 4 cm was left. This poses the questions: Are salpingectomies performed with endoloops true salpingectomies or partial salpingectomies? Do women managed with endoloops need to have human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) follow-up, as do those with salpingostomy?     

不同治疗方式在输卵管妊娠中的应用

目的探讨腹腔镜输卵管开窗取胚术加局部甲氨蝶呤（MTX）注射在输卵管妊娠治疗中的价值。方法选取149例输卵管妊娠病例,分为3组,A组和B组有生育要求,A组43例行腹腔镜输卵管开窗取胚术加局部MTX注射,B组39例行输卵管开窗取胚术,C组67例无生育要求行腹腔镜输卵管切除术,比较3组术后血pHCG下降情况。结果A组血β-HCG转阴时间与C组血β—HCG转阴时间相近,且均较B组时间明显缩短,无持续性异位妊娠发生。结论腹腔镜下输卵管开窗取胚术加局部MTX注射,术后血β-HCG转阴快,减少了持续性异位妊娠发生,增加了患者的生育机会。     

输卵管积水的不同处理及附件手术对体外受精-胚胎移植结局的影响

目的探讨输卵管积水的不同处理、输卵管手术及卵巢手术对体外受精-胚胎移植（IVF—ET）结局的影响。方法选择2003年10月至2007年12月我中心常规IVF-ET助孕的1,452个周期的临床资料,按不同处理分为输卵管切除组与输卵管造口组;卵巢巧克力囊肿（巧囊）与非巧囊囊肿剔除组;输卵管积水近端结扎远端造口组、输卵管积水切除组、积水穿刺抽吸组与积水未治疗组,以单纯输卵管阻塞为对照组,比较各组超排卵中卵巢反应及妊娠结局。结果与对照组相比,输卵管切除组、造口组卵巢反应及妊娠结局无明显差异,单侧输卵管手术不影响术侧卵巢反应（P〉0．05）;卵巢囊肿剔除术后Gn用量显著增加,获卵数显著减少,单侧卵巢手术影响术侧卵巢功能（P〈0．05）。与输卵管积水未治疗组相比,积水手术治疗后临床妊娠率、胚胎种植率显著增加（P〈0．05）,积水穿刺抽吸组临床妊娠率显著升高（P〉0．05）。结论输卵管手术不影响卵巢功能;卵巢囊肿剔除术后卵巢储备能力降低;输卵管积水对IVF-ET有负面影响,适当处理可改善妊娠结局,与积水穿刺抽吸术比较,IVF-ET前积水输卵管切除疗效更佳。
