Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the outcome of pregnancy following laparoscopic unilateral tubal fulguration of hydrosalpinges in patients with recurrent spontaneous early abortion. DESIGN: Prospective randomized controlled trial. SETTING: University tertiary center. PATIENT(S): Thirteen patients with history of unexplained recurrent early spontaneous abortion and a unilateral hydrosalpinx diagnosed by sonography and hysterosalpingography in whom other causes of abortion were excluded. INTERVENTION(S): The treatment group (group I) consisted of seven women who underwent laparoscopic unilateral tubal fulguration. The control group (group II) consisted of six patients for whom no surgical intervention was performed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Continuation of pregnancy over first trimester. RESULT(S): Six patients in the treatment group and five in the control group conceived. Five patients in the treatment group and none in the control group had pregnancy beyond the first trimester and finally reached 36-40 weeks gestational age (P=.02). CONCLUSION(S): Laparoscopic tubal fulguration improves pregnancy outcome in selected patients with previous recurrent early abortion and a unilateral hydrosalpinx.
