Design: Multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial. Setting: University hospitals. Patient(s): Twenty-eight women with a diagnosis of complete uterine septum who had a history of pregnancy wastage or infertility. They were randomized into two groups: group A underwent metroplasty including section of the cervical septum; group B underwent the same procedure with preservation of the cervical septum. Intervention(s): Hysteroscopic metroplasty was performed for all patients in the two groups. Main Outcome Measure(s): Operating time, distending media deficit, total distending media used, intraoperative bleeding, complications, and reproductive outcome. Result(s): Operating times were 36.40 ± 10.67 minutes and 73 ± 14.40 minutes in group A and group B, respectively. Distending media deficit was 456.66 ± 165.68m Lin group A,while in groupB it was 673.84± 220.36. Two cases of pulmonary edema and three cases of significant bleeding ( > 150 mL)were seen in group B. The cesarean section rate was significantly higher in group B. There were no signifi cant differences in the reproductive outcome in the two groups. Conclusion(s): Resection of the cervical septum during hysteroscopic metroplasty of complete uterine septum makes the procedure safer, easier, and less complicated than the procedure with preservation of the cervical septum. This procedure is recommended for all cases of complete uterine septum.展开更多

Method: Four patients with cervical aplasia who had a functioning endometrium and hematometra were recruited for this clinical trial. Through an abdominoperineal approach a plastic stent was inserted between the endometrial cavity and the upper part of the vagina; then, a graft of peritoneum was applied over the stent. In the absence of a vagina, grafts of skin or amniotic membrane were also used. The plastic stent was removed after 1 month in 2 patients and after 1 week in the 2 other patients. Result: After more than 1 year of observation the 4 patients had regular menstrual cycles with normal menstruation. Sonographic examinations also showed empty uterine cavities. Conclusion: Traditional gynecology textbooks recommend hysterectomy in cases of cervical aplasia. This report presents a new technique with 2 variations using a peritoneal graft. Although both variations were successful in the treatment of cervical aplasia in 4 women, more trials are needed to determine which one should be developed.展开更多

Design: Prospective randomized controlled trial. Setting: University tertiary center. Patient(s): Thirteen patients with history of unexplained recurrent early spontaneous abortion and a unilateral hydrosalpinx diagnosed by sonography and hysterosalpingography in whom other causes of abortion were excluded. Intervention(s): The treatment group (group I) consisted of seven women who underwent laparoscopic unilateral tubal fulguration. The control group (group II) consisted of six patients for whom no surgical intervention was performed. Main Outcome Measure(s): Continuation of pregnancy over first trimester. Result(s): Six patients in the treatment group and five in the control group conceived. Five patients in the treatment group and none in the control group had pregnancy beyond the first trimester and finally reached 36-40 weeks gestational age (P = .02). Conclusion(s): Laparoscopic tubal fulguration improves pregnancy outcome in selected patients with previous recurrent early abortion and a unilateral hydrosalpinx.展开更多
