Laparoscopic adhesiolysis for infertile patients with pelvic adhesive disease.

Thirty patients with secondary infertility were subjected to laparoscopic adhesiolysis during the period January 1986 to February 1987 at Al-Azhar Endoscopy and Microsurgery Unit. Second look laparoscopy (SLL) was performed after a period of 9-12 months. At laparoscopy, pelvic adhesive disease was staged according to the severity of the disease and compared with the finding at SLL. Five patients defaulted, three patients (12%) became pregnant and 22 patients underwent SLL. Ten patients (45.5%) showed no recurrence of adhesions. This study suggests that laparoscopy has a role in adhesiolysis of mild and moderate adhesions and SLL provides further opportunity to relyse reformed adhesions in some cases.

The benefit of lactation amenorrhea as a contraceptive.

A group of 148 lactating women who delivered normally at El-Galaa Hospital, Cairo, were followed up monthly for 1 year to study the pattern of lactation amenorrhea, the return of menstruation and ovulation, and the incidence of pregnancy. By the end of the sixth week postpartum, only 1.3 percent of the women had begun menstruating; the percentage gradually increased to 60.2 percent by the end of the first year. The amount of blood loss and the duration of menstruation increased gradually until the fourth postpartum menstrual period. Ovulation had occurred in 58.1 percent and pregnancy in 26.1 percent of all cases at the end of the 12th postpartum month. Among menstruating, lactating mothers, ovulation occurred in 86.5 percent and pregnancy in 32.6 percent, while in amenorrheic, lactating mothers only 6.1 percent had become pregnant at 1 year postpartum.

Minilaparotomy for female sterilization: a feasibility study of a new technique.

Female sterilization via a minilaparotomy incision was performed on 30 patients at Al-Azhar University Teaching Hospital in Cairo, Egypt. A uterine sound fed through a Foley catheter was used as a uterine elevator. A 2 cm suprapubic transverse laparotomy was performed and sterilization was accomplished by fimbriectomy. Twenty patients received general anesthesia and 10 patients initially received local anesthesia. Surgical time ranged from 7 to 15 min, and the average duration of hospitalization was 8 hours. Blood loss was small, and no patient was transfused. One patient had a wound infection. This pilot study indicates that this procedure is relatively simple, safe and inexpensive.
