1/118. A new approach to hysteroscopic cannulation of the fallopian tube.Hysteroscopic cannulation of the fallopian tube has become an essential part of the treatment of interstitial fallopian tube obstruction. This report describes the use of a flexible instrument that can be introduced through a rigid hysteroscope for the purpose of hysteroscopic tubal cannulation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = fallopian tube, tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/118. Laparoscopic treatment of isolated tubal torsion in a premenarchal girl.Tubal torsion in a premenarchal girl was diagnosed by pelvic ultrasonography and laparoscopy. A laparoscopic approach was used to resect the twisted tube. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of laparoscopically managed torsion of a fallopian tube occurring in the absence of torsion of the ovary in a patient of this age group. Video-assisted minimally invasive surgery appears to be suitable for treatment of tubal torsion in children; hospitalization is short, cosmetic results are excellent, and return to normal activity is rapid.

4/118. salpingectomy for unilateral hydrosalpinx may improve in vivo fecundity.The objective of this study was to determine whether unilateral salpingectomy for hydrosalpinx could improve fecundity in women with an apparently normal contralateral tube. Two women with unilateral hydrosalpinx and with an apparently normal contralateral tube, and a long history of infertility, including failure to conceive despite several cycles of in vitro fertilization (IVF), had unilateral salpingectomies prior to considering subsequent IVF cycles. Case 1 conceived after 1 month following surgery and case 2 after 8 months without the use of assisted reproductive technology. Though the ensuing pregnancies may have been fortuitous, the possibility exists that in cases of unilateral hydrosalpinx, the performance of salpingectomy may improve fecundity without the need for IVF. Hopefully the outcome of these 2 case reports may generate interest in a larger cooperative prospective study. copyright copyright 1999 S.

5/118. Isolated recurrent torsion of the Fallopian tube: case report.We report a rare clinical case of recurrent isolated torsion of the Fallopian tube. An 18 year old woman presented with acute right lower quadrant pain, nausea and vomiting. Torsion of the Fallopian tube was detected by laparoscopy and detorsion was performed. Two years later, a second similar episode of pelvic pain recurred. Having in mind the first episode, diagnosis was facilitated and detorsion was performed in accordance with the patient's wishes. However, the dilemma of ideal management of recurrent cases of torsion of the same tube remains open for discussion. The possibility of torsion of the Fallopian tube and recurrent torsion of the tube, although rare, should be considered in any patient with acute onset of lower abdominal pain.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.0092023859087089keywords = tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/118. Genitourinary complications of systemic lupus erythematosus.A 14-year-old African-American girl was diagnosed with antiphospholipid-positive systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in July 1994. The course was complicated by nephrotic syndrome, sepsis, hemolytic anemia, acute renal failure, saphenous vein thrombosis, cutaneous vasculitis, mesenteric vasculitis, appendicitis, hemorrhagic cystitis, and avascular necrosis of the hips. In August 1997, she developed ovarian and fallopian tube complications secondary to SLE. Genitourinary complications of SLE, however, are uncommon, and ovarian vasculitis has not previously been reported as a complication of SLE. This report describes the course of an adolescent patient with SLE and focuses specifically on her genitourinary complications.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.16666666666667keywords = fallopian tube, tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/118. leiomyoma of the fallopian tube.Leiomyomas of the fallopian tube are rare. They are typically incidental findings seen at autopsy or unrelated surgical procedures. A 32-year-old woman presented with lower abdominal pain and mass. Transvaginal sonogram and magnetic resonance imaging showed the solid mass at the outside of the uterus. At surgery, the left fallopian tube contained a firm mass with torsion in the area of the ampullary-isthmic junction. The left tube and the infundibulopelvic ligament were rolled in torsion and showed edematous change. We report a rare case in whom torsion of a pedunculated tubal leiomyoma caused abdominal pain.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.0010224873232keywords = fallopian tube, tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/118. Isolated tubal torsion managed laparoscopically.Adnexal cystic lesions in women of reproductive age are common. Most are functional ovarian cysts, followed by paraovarian cysts, hydrosalpinx, and adnexal torsion. A 34-year-old woman experienced mild abdominal pain, nausea, and low-grade fever. She received empiric antibiotics in an outpatient clinic after a diagnosis of tubo-ovarian abscess. After 3 days she was referred to our hospital with no improvement in symptoms or signs. Isolated fallopian tube torsion was diagnosed and successfully treated by laparoscopy. laparoscopy played an important role in making an accurate diagnosis and avoiding unnecessary delays in treatment.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.16666666666667keywords = fallopian tube, tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/118. Isolated torsion of the fallopian tube in an adolescent: a case report.Isolated torsion of the fallopian tube is an uncommon event. It is a difficult condition to evaluate clinically and surgery is often necessary to establish the diagnosis. This report focuses on a 15-year-old female who presented with acute pelvic pain, nausea, and vomiting. Pelvic ultrasound showed an adnexal mass. A diagnostic laparoscopy was performed which confirmed the diagnosis of isolated tubal torsion. Based on this experience as well as other similar reported cases, isolated torsion of the fallopian tube should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute lower abdominal/pelvic pain in the female patient. Prompt surgical intervention may allow for preservation of the tube.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.0010224873232keywords = fallopian tube, tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/118. prolapse of the fallopian tube after hysterectomy associated with exuberant angiomyofibroblastic stroma response: a diagnostic pitfall.We report two cases of prolapse of the fallopian tube associated with an exuberant angiomyofibroblastic stroma response, which occurred after hysterectomy and which is a hitherto unreported feature of this lesion. The tumors were composed of richly vascularized stroma arranged in a retiform pattern and mildly atypical glandular inclusions, which had the morphology of tubal epithelium. The stroma of the lesion was composed of either thin bipolar cells with tapered nuclei and stellate-shaped cells with minimal amount of cytoplasm or small epithelioid-looking cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm. The tubal glandular inclusions displayed mildly atypical nuclear features. If the tubal glandular component was overlooked, these tumors might be erroneously diagnosed as mesenchymal lesions of the vagina, such as vaginal fibroepithelial polyp, angiomyofibroblastoma, aggressive angiomyxoma, or superficial myofibroblastoma.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.83333333333333keywords = fallopian tube, tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
