Incidental observations during routine laparoscopic sterilisation. 1998

S Gupta, and M Jain

Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi.

Chance observations made in 24 (0.91%) of the 2639 cases in whom tubal ligation was done by laparoscopic method in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology, Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi during the last 4 years are reported and analysed. Congenital anomalies of the reproductive tract (0.30%), pelvic adhesions with or without thickened tubes due to inflammatory causes (0.49%) and other abnormalities (0.11%) were visualised. It is concluded that surgical correction of all uterine defects is not so necessary for a successful outcome of pregnancy.

D010535	Laparoscopy	A procedure in which a laparoscope (LAPAROSCOPES) is inserted through a small incision near the navel to examine the abdominal and pelvic organs in the PERITONEAL CAVITY. If appropriate, biopsy or surgery can be performed during laparoscopy.

D005187	Fallopian Tubes	A pair of highly specialized canals extending from the UTERUS to its corresponding OVARY. They provide the means for OVUM transport from the ovaries and they are the site of the ovum's final maturation and FERTILIZATION. The fallopian tube consists of an interstitium, an isthmus, an ampulla, an infundibulum, and fimbriae. Its wall consists of three layers: serous, muscular, and an internal mucosal layer lined with both ciliated and secretory cells.

D014599	Uterus	The hollow thick-walled muscular organ in the female PELVIS. It consists of the fundus which is the site of EMBRYO IMPLANTATION and FETAL DEVELOPMENT. Beyond the isthmus at the perineal end of fundus, is CERVIX UTERI (the neck) opening into VAGINA. Beyond the isthmi at the upper abdominal end of fundus, are the FALLOPIAN TUBES.
