Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Assessment and comparing pregnancy outcomes in hydrosalpinx patients treated by hysteroscopic tubal occlusion and laparoscopic salpingectomy before ICSI.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Hydrosalpinx has a detrimental effect on the rates of implantation, pregnancy and early pregnancy loss following IVF. A meta-analysis demonstrated that the implantation rate and clinical pregnancy rate decreased by 50% in patients with hydrosalpinx. The negative consequences could be due to embryotoxic properties, a decrease in endometrial receptivity, and hydrosalpinx fluid mechanically flushing the embryo from the uterus.

Although laparoscopic salpingectomy and laparoscopic proximal ligation increase ongoing pregnancy rates in women with hydrosalpinges, those interventions are invasive and carry anaesthetic and surgical risks, especially in the presence of extensive adhesions, often seen in women with hydrosalpinges. In view of the possible adverse effects of laparoscopic surgery, an alternative less-invasive treatment for hydrosalpinges prior to IVF would be useful.

The effectiveness of hysteroscopic tubal occlusion when compared with salpingectomy has not been established. Randomized clinical trials comparing both procedures prior to IVF are lacking.

The present study was designed to compare hysteroscopic tubal occlusion and laparoscopic salpingectomy in the treatment of hydrosalpinges prior to IVF.

This study hypothesized that in women scheduled for IVF/ICSI hysteroscopic proximal occlusion of hydrosalpinges would be non-inferior to laparoscopic salpingectomy in terms of ongoing pregnancy rates following IVF/ICSI.
