Results of tubal surgery are inversely related to damage that exists prior to surgery. [10] Development of adhesions remains a problem. [1] Patients with operated tubes are at increased risk for ectopic pregnancy, [10] although in vitro fertilization in patients with damaged tubes is also associated with a risk for ectopic pregnancy.
However, not all pelvic infections will cause distal tubal occlusion. Tubal tuberculosis is an uncommon cause of hydrosalpinx formation. While the cilia of the inner lining (endosalpinx) of the fallopian tube beat towards the uterus, tubal fluid is normally discharged via the fimbriated end into the peritoneal cavity from where it is cleared ...
Hematosalpinx. Hematosalpinx. Laparoscopic view, looking from superiorly to inferiorly in the peritoneal cavity which has been pumped up with carbon dioxide gas to visualize the uterus (marked by blue arrows). On the left fallopian tube there is an ectopic pregnancy and hematosalpinx (marked by red arrows). The right tube is normal. Specialty.
Interstitial pregnancy. An interstitial pregnancy is a uterine but ectopic pregnancy; the pregnancy is located outside the uterine cavity in that part of the fallopian tube that penetrates the muscular layer of the uterus. [1] The term cornual pregnancy is sometimes used as a synonym, [2][3] but remains ambiguous as it is also applied to ...
Early treatment of an ectopic pregnancy with methotrexate is a viable alternative to surgical treatment [56] which was developed in the 1980s. [57] If administered early in the pregnancy, methotrexate terminates the growth of the developing embryo; the developing embryo may then be either resorbed by the woman's body or pass with a menstrual ...
ICD-9-CM. 66.4 - 66.6. MeSH. D058994. [edit on Wikidata] Salpingectomy refers to the surgical removal of a fallopian tube. This may be done to treat an ectopic pregnancy or cancer, to prevent cancer, or as a form of contraception. This procedure is now sometimes preferred over its ovarian tube-sparing counterparts due to the risk of ectopic ...
An abdominal pregnancy is a rare type of ectopic pregnancy where the embryo or fetus is growing and developing outside the uterus, in the abdomen, and not in a fallopian tube (usual location), an ovary, or the broad ligament. [1][2][3] Because tubal, ovarian and broad ligament pregnancies are as difficult to diagnose and treat as abdominal ...
Tuboplasty refers to a number of surgical operations that attempt to restore patency and functioning of the fallopian tube(s) so that a pregnancy could be achieved. As tubal infertility is a common cause of infertility, tuboplasties were commonly performed prior to the development of effective in vitro fertilization (IVF) or repair of any type of tube-like structure, including the Eustachian ...
