INTRODUCTION: Opportunistic salpingectomy during benign hysterectomy with ovarian preservation has become a preventive approach to epithelial ovarian cancer, particularly high-grade serous carcinoma, given evidence that it originates in the…
ObjectiveTo determine the diagnostic performance and clinical utility of the M4 prediction model and the NICE algorithm managing women with pregnancy of unknown location (PUL).DesignThe study has a superiority design regarding specificity f…
INTRODUCTION: The evidence on complication rates after gynecological surgery is based on multiple types of studies, and the level of evidence is generally low. We aimed to validate the registration of complications in the Swedish National Q…
BACKGROUND: Opportunistic salpingectomy to reduce ovarian cancer incidence has become increasingly common despite the lack of randomised trials investigating its safety. In SALSTER, we tested whether salpingectomy for laparoscopic sterilisa…
INTRODUCTION: Complications after gynecological surgery in Sweden are registered in the well-established Swedish National Quality Register of Gynecological Surgery, GynOp. The aim of this study was to analyze interrater reliability in asses…
INTRODUCTION: Salpingectomy is currently suggested as an alternative to tubal ligation for sterilisation. Precursor lesions of ovarian carcinoma can be found in the fallopian tubes; thus, salpingectomy could possibly reduce the incidence. M…
BACKGROUND: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating ectopic pregnancy have reported many different outcomes, which are themselves often defined and measured in distinct ways. This level of variation results in an inability to compare…
BACKGROUND: Tubal disease accounts for 20% of infertility cases. Hydrosalpinx, caused by distal tubal occlusion leading to fluid accumulation in the tube(s), is a particularly severe form of tubal disease negatively affecting the outcomes o…
BACKGROUND: Tubal disease, and particularly hydrosalpinx, has a detrimental effect on the outcome of in-vitro fertilisation (IVF). Performing a surgical intervention such as salpingectomy, tubal occlusion, aspiration of the hydrosalpinx flu…
Laparoscopic surgery has developed quickly and is preferred over laparotomy for most surgery in female infertility. In vitro fertilization (IVF) has emerged as the main treatment for tubal infertility, but surgery still has a definite place…
OBJECTIVE: To identify risk factors for ectopic pregnancy (EP) after IVF-ET. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: In vitro fertilization clinic at a university hospital. PATIENT(S): A total of 725 women who conceived after IVF we…
OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to examine the role of hysterosalpingocontrast sonography (HyCoSy) as a screening test for endometrial and tubal pathology at the start of the infertility investigation protocol. METHODS: HyCoSy…
BACKGROUND: To estimate the risk of subsequent ectopic pregnancy (EP) after tubal surgery, given that the woman becomes pregnant, by means of a logistic model, a retrospective study was initiated. METHODS: During the period 1986-1990, 221 …
