OBJECTIVE This study aimed to examine ovarian response to gonadotrpoin stimulation after repeated IVF treatment cycles in patients who underwent previous unilateral salpingectomy for tubal pregnancy. METHODS The study group included 26 patients who underwent unilateral salpingectomy for tubal pregnancy 1-9 years prior to starting IVF treatment. A control group of 52 patients with anatomically intact pelvis was treated during the same time period by ICSI. The two groups were matched for age, number of gonadotropin ampules, and length of stimulation. End point measurements included number of follicles, oocytes, and cleaved embryos in consecutive treatment cycles of each group. RESULTS There were 98 cycles in the study group and 154 cycles in the control group. The mean number of follicles, retrieved oocytes, and cleaved embryos were not different in the two groups, and no reductions in these parameters were noted up to 10 cycles of treatment. The mean number of follicles ipsilateral to the operated side was similar to the number of follicles of the contralateral ovary and was not different whether salpingectomy was by laparoscopy or laparotomy. CONCLUSIONS Unilateral salpingectomy does not affect ipsilateral ovarian response to gonadotropin stimulation even after repeated IVF treatment cycles.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009865 Oocytes Female germ cells derived from OOGONIA and termed OOCYTES when they enter MEIOSIS. The primary oocytes begin meiosis but are arrested at the diplotene state until OVULATION at PUBERTY to give rise to haploid secondary oocytes or ova (OVUM). Ovocytes,Oocyte,Ovocyte
D010060 Ovulation The discharge of an OVUM from a rupturing follicle in the OVARY. Ovulations
D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D004624 Embryo Transfer The transfer of mammalian embryos from an in vivo or in vitro environment to a suitable host to improve pregnancy or gestational outcome in human or animal. In human fertility treatment programs, preimplantation embryos ranging from the 4-cell stage to the blastocyst stage are transferred to the uterine cavity between 3-5 days after FERTILIZATION IN VITRO. Blastocyst Transfer,Tubal Embryo Transfer,Tubal Embryo Stage Transfer,Embryo Transfers,Transfer, Embryo,Transfers, Embryo
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.

D006062 Gonadotropins Hormones that stimulate gonadal functions such as GAMETOGENESIS and sex steroid hormone production in the OVARY and the TESTIS. Major gonadotropins are glycoproteins produced primarily by the adenohypophysis (GONADOTROPINS, PITUITARY) and the placenta (CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN). In some species, pituitary PROLACTIN and PLACENTAL LACTOGEN exert some luteotropic activities. Gonadotropin
D006080 Ovarian Follicle An OOCYTE-containing structure in the cortex of the OVARY. The oocyte is enclosed by a layer of GRANULOSA CELLS providing a nourishing microenvironment (FOLLICULAR FLUID). The number and size of follicles vary depending on the age and reproductive state of the female. The growing follicles are divided into five stages: primary, secondary, tertiary, Graafian, and atretic. Follicular growth and steroidogenesis depend on the presence of GONADOTROPINS.
