The effect of adnexal surgery on the ovarian response to stimulation in in vitro fertilization.

OBJECTIVES: The effect of adnexal surgery on ovarian function is a controversial issue of high clinical significance. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of adnexal surgery on ovarian function. STUDY DESIGN: All patients who underwent adnexal surgery in our department during an 8-year period (all records were obtained from the hospital database between January 1991 and December 1998) were cross-matched with our in vitro fertilization (IVF) database. We compared the baseline hormonal levels and the patients' response to IVF stimulation (assessed by the total amount of gonadotropins, maximal estradiol (E2) levels, number of retrieved and fertilized oocytes). RESULTS: Sixty-four consecutive patients who underwent adnexal surgery were compared with 68 matched controls. Neither of the analyzed parameters were affected by the tubal surgery. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude from our study adnexal surgery is not detrimental to ovarian function.

Microflora of cervical and vaginal secretion in women using copper- and norgestrel-releasing IUCDs.

In 90 women with a norgestrel-releasing IUCD inserted and 50 women having a copper releasing IUCD, culturing of cervical and vaginal secretion was performed prior to, and 3 and 12 months after insertion of the IUCD. There were no significant changes in the cervical or vaginal microflora, and no significant differences between the groups. According to these findings, locally released progestogens from an IUCD do not affect the microflora of the vagina or of the cervix.

CO2 laser laparoscopy in infertile women with endometriosis and women with adnexal adhesions.

One hundred twenty-four infertile women either with endometriosis (n = 70) or with adnexal adhesions (n = 54) were treated with the carbon dioxide laser used laparoscopically and were followed for 18 months. Removal of endometriotic implants, vaporization of endometrioma capsules, and lysis of adnexal adhesions was accomplished. Postoperative pregnancy rates were as follows: 57% for patients with endometriosis (mild, 62%; moderate, 52%; severe, 42%) and 57% for patients with adnexal adhesions. No serious complications requiring laparotomy were encountered. When performed, second-look laparoscopy confirmed efficient removal of endometriosis.

Role of sexual behavior in the development of pelvic inflammatory disease.

The role of sexual behavior in the development of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is not well understood. In general the literature is limited and flawed in the methods used to assess sexual behavior. Good evidence suggests that PID in Western society is a sexually transmitted disease. For number of partners, frequency of intercourse, time of intercourse and sexual life-style the evidence suggests that those variables have a significant role in the development of PID. It is important to assess PID in the context of all its risk factors, including sexual behavior, race, prior history of PID and IUD use.

Intrauterine devices and pelvic inflammatory disease: recent developments.

The potential relationship between use of intrauterine devices and pelvic inflammatory disease is one of the most important issues in contraception today. A number of large, sophisticated studies published since mid-1980 have clarified this association. All have consistently revealed an increased risk of pelvic inflammatory disease among intra-uterine device users, but the most objective of these studies indicate a relative risk compared to women using no method (1.5-2.6) lower than previous estimates. For most intrauterine device wearers, the increased risk of pelvic inflammatory disease persists for only a few months after insertion. The Dalkon Shield appears associated with a higher risk of pelvic inflammatory disease than the Lippes Loop, Saf-T-Coil, or copper devices. Careful selection of candidates for intrauterine devices may further reduce the risk of intrauterine device-associated pelvic inflammatory disease.

Perihepatic adhesions: not necessarily pathognomonic of pelvic infection.

Perihepatic adhesions are often considered to be associated with pelvic inflammatory disease and subsequent infertility. Seventeen patients out of 100 undergoing elective laparoscopic sterilization had evidence of perihepatic adhesions. Four of the 17 showed evidence of old pelvic inflammatory disease, but only two gave a history of sexually transmitted disease. All patients had a negative gonorrhea culture and 50 also had a negative chlamydia culture before the procedure. These data suggest that perihepatic adhesions may be observed in otherwise normal fertile women, and its presence does not necessarily imply pelvic inflammatory disease or poor fertility.

A comparative evaluation of three IUDs.

Private practice clinical experience with the insertion of 3 types of IUDs (Lippes loop, Dalkon shield, Cu 7) is evaluated. Life table analyses indicated similar pregnancy rates for the 3 IUDs. Lower expulsion rates were experienced with the Dalkon shield. Higher removal rates were experienced for pelvic inflammatory disease and pain and/or bleeding with the Cu 7. In part, the higher Cu 7 removal rates reflect a change to more liberal indications for IUD removal.
