Endometriosis is a common problem affecting 5-10% of women of childbearing age. It is a condition with unknown pathology, leaving us with several theories. However, about half of women with endometriosis complain of difficulty conceiving. T…

Endometriosis with ascites is a rare clinical presentation. We describe a case of a 39-year-old nulliparous woman who presented with hypogastric pain. Laboratory analysis showed an elevation of CA-125 and CA19-9 serum concentrations. Pelvic…

Surgical eradication of minimal and mild endometriosis has been shown to increase the birth rate both spontaneously and after intrauterine insemination. This study from a reproductive medicine unit at a referral university hospital examined…

BACKGROUND: Down-regulation with GnRH agonist has been suggested to result in a profound suppression of LH bioactivity, reduced estradiol synthesis, and thus impaired IVF and pregnancy outcome. The aims of this study were: (i) to assess the…

PURPOSE: Patient and cycle characteristics of day 3 transfers with developmentally lagging 4-cell embryos only were analyzed and related to the outcome of a live birth. METHODS: Day 3 transfers with either 4-cell embryos only (study group;…

BACKGROUND: To elucidate possible differences between unexplained and minimal peritoneal endometriosis-associated infertility, we studied their outcome in natural cycle IVF (NIVF). METHODS: A prospective cohort study was carried out on une…

PURPOSE: To determine whether there was any difference in the outcome of in vitro fertilization when retrieval of oocytes was done 34 hr (group A) or 38 hr (group B) after hCG injection. METHODS: A total of 170 patients with tubal failure …

PURPOSE: The objective was to evaluate whether extending the embryo culture period from 2 to 3 days would yield a more optimal selection of viable embryos, thereby increasing the implantation and live birth rates. METHODS: Patients undergo…

There have been numerous inconclusive studies examining the differences between unexplained and peritoneal endometriosis-associated infertility. Hence, the choice of artificial reproductive technique may be difficult. This prospective study…

BACKGROUND: To compare the outcome of in vitro fertilization/embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in unexplained infertility and infertility associated with minimal peritoneal endometriosis. METHODS: A retrospective analysis comparing results of stimu…

This review focuses on the theoretical backgrounds for tubal gamete and zygote/embryo transfer, as well as the clinical results of gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), which are compared with other non-fertilization procedures in infertil…

This prospective study was undertaken to evaluate the relative efficacy of three in vivo methods of assisted fertilization in 150 infertile women with patent fallopian tubes: gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), combined intrauterine and …

OBJECTIVE: To test the ovarian reserve in a high-risk population before controlled ovarian hyperstimulation for in vitro fertilization (IVF). DESIGN: A prospective study comparing the outcome of a clomiphene citrate (CC) challenge test to …

The purpose of this study was to report the success rate of the first IVF treatment in 161 patients who attended our department in 1988. The indications for IVF were tubal damage in 84 couples (52.1%), unexplained infertility and endometrio…

A comparison of the relative efficacy of in-vitro fertilization with uterine embryo transfer (IVF), tubal embryo stage transfer (TEST) and gamete intra-Fallopian transfer (GIFT) was performed in infertile patients with patent Fallopian tube…

Two patients with long-lasting infertility associated with moderate and severe symptomatic endometriosis were treated with long-term GnRH-agonist suppression of ovarian function. Both patients were relieved of their endometriosis-related ab…
