In order to adequately assess the effectiveness of danazol, gestrinone, buserelin-nasal spray (IN) and buserelin-implant (SC), a prospective non randomized study was initiated in 178 patients with laparoscopically confirmed ovarian endometr…
One hundred infertile patients with laparoscopically confirmed ovarian endometriosis were treated with either intranasal (IN) Buserelin (Hoechst, AG, Frankfurt am Main, West Germany) (300 micrograms three times a day) or subcutaneous (SC) B…
Used endoscopically, the CO2 laser offers some advantages over other operative techniques for endometriosis and adhesions but, in spite of the continuing development of new instrumentation there are still problems with the system. The techn…
To evaluate the persistence of endometriosis and the morphologic changes occurring in endometriotic foci after hormonal therapy, microsurgical resection of ovarian endometriosis was performed in 148 women. After hormonal therapy (n = 116), …
To evaluate the results of 54 microsurgical anastomoses in relation to histologic findings, serial sections from 102 stenosed tubal portions (n = 54 women) were examined. The term pregnancy rate was 41% in our series. Unfavorable histologic…
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 implant…
Fifty patients with moderate or severe endometriosis received 5 mg/day lynestrenol for 6 months prior to microsurgery. A significant regression of the ovarian and peritoneal implants was observed in 72% of the cases after progestative treat…
The advantages of microsurgical anastomosis for cornual occlusion are evaluated in a series of 82 pure cases of pathologic cornual occlusion. The term pregnancy rate was 44% and the ectopic pregnancy rate was 7%. The following factors were …
To study the effect of endometriosis on follicular rupture, endometrial tissue was autografted to New Zealand White rabbits. Endometrium was surgically implanted into the peritoneal cavity. Human chorionic gonadotropin was administered to i…
Eighty-two women with symmetric cornual blockage were selected for evaluation of the results of microsurgical anastomosis in relation to data from preoperative hysterosalpingography and histologic study of excised tubal specimens. Serial se…
Histologic findings in 133 previously ligated fallopian tubes of women who underwent subsequent hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy were compared with those of 50 normal fallopian tubes and related to four surgical procedures for steri…
Between the years 1977 and 1982, laparoscopy was performed on 900 patients where the diagnosis of infertility was made in our department. In the patients' histories events which were considered relevant to subsequent tubal pathology were st…
Hysterosalpingography and laparoscopy were performed in 500 infertile women. Results obtained by both techniques were compared. Taking into consideration only the tubal patency, the present study shows an agreement in 90% of cases. In total…
One-hundred normal fertile women with normal luteal phase and 118 women with endometriosis underwent luteal phase laparoscopy before day 22. The luteal phase was ascertained by the presence of secretory endometrium and serum progesterone le…
