OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the value of laparoscopy in infertile women with normal hysterosalpingograms. METHODS: Retrospectively analyzed the laparoscopic findings of 79 infertility patients with normal hysterosalpingograms. RESULTS: Of the 79 patients, 28 (35.4%) showed normal laparoscopic findings, while in 51 (64.6%) patients, it was abnormal. Abnormal findings consisted of stage I-II endometriosis in 23 patients (45.1%), stage III-IV endometriosis in 5 (9.8%), peritubal adhesions in 7 (13.7%), and pelvic adhesions in 12 (23.5%). Among patients in whom patent fallopian tubes were demonstrated by hysterosalpingography, there were 2 (4.0%) patients each with tubal obstruction and hydrosalpinx. CONCLUSION: Even in patients who showed normal findings on a hysterosalpingogram, it is thought that laparoscopy in selected cases may provide enhanced efficacy in terms of cost and time effectiveness.

4.Effect of salpingectomy on ovarian function.
Journal of Zhejiang University. Medical sciences 2006;35(5):555-559
OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of salpingectomy on ovarian function.
METHODSFifty-four women with previous unilateral salpingectomy and 64 with bilateral salpingectomy (study groups) and 59 infertile patients with obstruction of fallopian tube (control group) received in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) treatment. The baseline levels of serum FSH, LH, E2, PRL, ovarian response to superovulation and outcome of IVF-ET among the three groups were compared.
RESULTThere were no significant differences in the baseline endocrine levels among three groups. There were more ampules and days of gonadotropin (Gn) administration, fewer oocytes retrieved in bilateral salpingectomy group than in control group (P <0.05). The duration of Gn administration of unilateral salpingectomy group was significantly longer than that of control group (P <0.05). The number of oocytes retrieved and the total ampules of Gn administration in unilateral salpingectomy group were not different with those of bilateral salpingectomy group and control group (P >0.05). Among the patients with the history of unilateral salpingectomy, significantly fewer oocytes were retrieved from the ovary on the operated side (P <0.05). There were no significant difference in the fertilization rates, cleavage rates, good-embryo rate, implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rates and good-embryo number among the three groups.
CONCLUSIONSalpingectomy has no obvious effect on the outcome of IVF-ET and baseline endocrine within a period of time, but it reduces the ovarian response to superovulation on ipsilateral ovary in IVF-ET.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether diagnostic laparoscopy before transcervical fallopian tube catheterization (TFTC) would improve tubal recanalization rate and pregnancy rate in patients with bilateral proximal tubal blockage in hysterosalpingogram (HSG). METHODS: The retrospective study was performed in those underwent TFTC from January 1998 to December 2001. A total of 50 patients with bilateral proximal tubal blockage in HSG were subjected to TFTC sequentially using repeated HSG (rHSG), selective salpingography (SS) followed by tubal catheterization (TFTC). Each procedure was terminated once patency had been achieved without proceding to the next technique. In Group A patients (n=35, 64 tubes), diagnostic laparoscopy was performed before TFTC was taken to exclude the tube combined with peritubal adhesion or distal tubal pathology. In Group B, patients (n=15, 26 tubes) were performed TFTC without diagnostic laparoscopy. RESULTS: There were significant difference in clinical pregnancy rate (45.7% vs 15.4%, p=0.034) but no differences were found in recanalization rate (75.0% vs 73.1%) and complication rate (8.6% vs 13.3%). Although there is no signficant difference, more tubes were canalized by SS, which means tubal obstruction rather than occlusion, in Group A (25.0% vs 5.3%, p=0.069). CONCLUSION: Diagnostic laparoscopy would be effective in the selection of tube for the relatively inexpensive and less invasive TFTC or patients in need of assisted reproductive technologies. With the tubes without combined peritubal adhesion or distal tubal pathology, pregnancy rate was significantly increased.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the tubal patency in the young-aged women underwent diagnostic laparoscopy with Fitz-High-Curtis Syndrome (FHCS). METHODS: Clinicopathologic results of young-aged women who underwent diagnostic laparoscopy with pelvic inflammatory disease from March 2005 through April 2007 were reviewed. Twenty six patients aged 19-29 years old and preserved their both tubes after diagnostic laparoscopy were included in this study. All were underwent chromopertubation test (CPT) during laparoscopy and postoperative hysterosalpingography (HSG) 3 months later. RESULTS: Of 26 patients, eight patients were diagnosed with FHCS and the others were not. There was no significant difference in mean age, mean hospitalization days, and frequency in past-history of parturition, abortion, chlamydia and gonococci infection between patients with FHCS and with non-FHCS (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in frequency of tubal obstruction in laparoscopic CPT (P>0.05) but not in postoperative outpatient HSG (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The tubal obstruction may be more frequent in FHCS than non-FHCS and the reliability of laparoscopic CPT for diagnosing the tubal obstruction is supposed to be low. Therefore, as for FHCS patients, HSG should be executed to investigate tubal factor which is helpful to forecast the fertility.

9.Mullerianosis of the urinary bladder: First case report in the Philippines.

Philippine Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology 2017;41(2):26-32
Mullerianosis is a rare, benign, and morphologically complex, tumor-like lesion that consists of an organoid structure with normal Müllerian tissue. The diagnosis requires the presence of at least two of the three mullerian tissues: endometriosis, endosalpingiosis, and endocervicosis. There are only less than twenty (20) cases reported in literature. At present there is no published case report of mullerianosis here in the Philippines. This is a case report of a 30-year old Filipino woman who presented predominantly with lower urinary tract symptoms of severe dysuria, hematuria, and lumbar pain and was evaluated for a urologic problem secondary to a posterior bladder mass. Subsequent evaluations revealed the diagnosis of mullerianosis. This is where the interest in mullerianosis sets, its potential to mimic a neoplastic lesion of the urinary tract from clinical and diagnostic viewpoints. The clinical importance to diagnose this case correctly is of grave importance for appropriate management.

In gynecology, endosalpingiosis is a benign condition in which the fallopian tube-like epithelium is found outside the fallopian tube. The thirty-four point five percent of endosalpingiosis cases have concurrent endometriosis and 40% of the endosalpingiosis group are in postmenopausal states. In contrast with endometriosis, there are no significant links between infertility, chronic pelvic pain and endosalpingiosis. The symptoms of endosalpingiosis are not yet settled. Endosalpingiosis is almost always an incidental finding; it is commonly found through microscopic examinations, and is then confirmed by pathologists for excision and biopsy. Therefore, the clinical differential diagnosis of an intramural mass is more important for clinicians when discussing further surgery with the patients. We report case of woman who has endosalpingiosis and is presented with vaginal bleeding. We first suspect the disease during physical examination. Under the impression of pelvic mass, laboratory tests and radiological images of contrast enhanced chest computer tomography are taken. Images show multisepted cystic masses in left adnexa. To rule out the pelvic mass, we executed exploratory laparotomy. Pathologic results show endosalpingiosis near the ovary section. But the endosalpingiosis, is not generally considered a pathology, and thus, no treatment is necessary.
