Abstract:
Objective To treat hydrosalpinx by using interventional embolization of fallopian tube or laparoscopic salpingectomy before the performance of auxiliary reproductive technology,i.e.in vitro fertilization and embryo transplant (IVF-ET),and to compare the clinical effect,technical advantages and disadvamages between the two methods.Methods A total of 170 patients with tubal infertility who had received IVF-ET were selected,the clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into three groups:(1) interventional embolization group (n=65),using interventional embolization for hydrosalpinx;(2) laparoscopic salpingectomy group (n=55),adopting laparoscopic salpingectomy for hydrosalpinx;and (3) control group (n=50):for these patients bilateral proximal fallopian tube obstruction was performed,and IVF-ET was directly carried out if the patient had no hydrosalpinx.Results No statistically significant differences in the used dosage of gonadotropin (Gn),E2 level on HCG-injection day,the number of follicles on HCG-injection day,the number of retrieved oocytes,the fertilization rate,cleavage rate,clinical pregnancy rate,abortion rate,and ectopic pregnancy rate existed between each other among the three groups (P>0.05).The technical success rate in both interventional embolization group and laparoscopic salpingectomy group was 100%.No severe complications occurred.The interventional embolization procedure had some advantages,it could be completed at clinic room,the operation time was short,no anesthesia was needed,the medical cost was low,etc.Conclusion Interventional embolization of fallopian tube and laparoscopic resection are equally effective in treating hydrosalpinx before IVF-ET is conducted.Both methods can improve pregnancy outcome,but interventional embolization method is more simple,safe,economical and effective,which deserves to be the preferred method of treatment.
