Chronic endometritis is linked to recurrent pregnancy loss and in vitro fertilization failure. The responsiveness to antibiotics suggests a bacterial cause, however endometriosis could also play a role. This study aimed to compare treatment…

PurposeTo present recent data on discordant tubal blockage (DTB), its influence on pregnancy rates and how women should gage their fertility when screening and diagnostic tests don't always agree.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study inclu…

BackgroundTo compare in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) pregnancy outcomes following endometrial polypectomy using either a manual mechanical hysteroscopic tissue resection device (mHTR) or traditional mechanical resection …

PurposeFibroids are the most common gynecological pathology in reproductive aged women and contribute to 2-3% of infertility cases. After hysteroscopic removal of submucosal FIGO 0 and I fibroids, pregnancy rates of 60% to 90% can be achiev…

BACKGROUND: Subtle uterine lesions are abnormal intracavitary conditions that, while not causing significant anatomical changes, can adversely impact fertility. Identifying these "subtle" lesions is challenging due to arbitrary interpretati…

Background and Objectives: Fallopian tubal pathology is a primary risk factor for female infertility, with simple proximal disease and proximal disease extending more distally being more common than pure distal occlusion. Proximal tubal occ…

Postoperative intraabdominal adhesions can occur after more than 90% of gynecologic surgeries. They not only cause chronic pelvic pain and small bowel obstruction, but are also one of the main reasons for infertility. Adhesions are not only…

IntroductionUsefulness of hysteroscopy before assisted reproductive technique (ART) was considered debatable. However, over the last decade, several new trials have been added to available literature. We aimed to assess the impact of diagno…

BackgroundIron deficiency is a common problem in subfertile women. The influence of iron status on unexplained infertility is unknown.MethodsIn a case-control study, 36 women with unexplained infertility and 36 healthy non-infertile control…

Background: Quality of life (QOL) and psychological health has been reported to be decreased among women with gynecological conditions such as uterine fibroids (UFs). Materials and Methods: Women enrolled in the Comparing Options for Manage…

Endometriosis seems to have a strong negative effect on female fertility. The aim of this study was to assess the rate of tubal occlusion diagnosed via laparoscopic chromopertubation in infertile women with endometriosis and compare the res…

OBJECTIVE: To objectively grade all video publications in Fertility and Sterility during 2020 and compile a list of the top 5 surgical videos. DESIGN: Descriptive presentation of the 5 highest scoring video publications from Fertility and …

There are limited data on how non-infectious risk factors influence tubal patency in women with subfertility. With hormonal shifts influencing tubal secretions, it has been argued that subfertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) …

PurposeTo determine whether an increase in cul de sac (CDS) fluid after hysteroscopy is predictive of tubal patency.MethodsIn a prospective clinical cohort study, 115 subfertile women undergoing laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery at the…

Study objectiveChronic endometritis (CE), which often presents asymptomatically, is associated with recurrent pregnancy loss, recurrent implantation failure after in vitro fertilization, and endometriosis. Data connecting CE with fallopian …

ObjectiveTo assess if a surgical boot camp improves laparoscopic skill among reproduction endocrinology and infertility (REI) fellows and increases fellow desire to incorporate surgical skills into practice and to examine whether fellowship…
