Purpose: to analyze the pregnancy rates after laparoscopic and microsurgical treatment of hydrosalpinx. Methods: from July 1996 to May 1999 thirty-nine infertile patients with hydrosalpinx were treated according to a previously approved research protocol. They were randomly divided into two groups, according to the previously proposed surgical approach: laparoscopic or open microsurgical salpingostomy. To analyze the results, patients were stratified according to tubal damage, and pregnancy rates in both groups were determined for 24 months. Results: pregnancy rates in our series were 35.3 and 33.3% after laparoscopic and microsurgical salpingostomy, respectively. According to the severity of tubal damage, patients with mildly and moderately damaged tubes got pregnant in 66.7 and 21.7% of the cases, respectively. Cumulative pregnancy rates in one and two years were 25.0 and 34.4%, respectively. There was a single case of ectopic pregnancy, corresponding to 9.1% of all pregnancies. Conclusion: patients with mild and moderate lesions may be initially treated with surgery, and conception success is inversely proportional to the degree of tubal damage.

Purpose: to evaluate the results of uterine artery embolization (UAE) in the treatment of uterine leiomyomas. Methods: eighteen patients with ultrasonographic diagnosis of uterine leiomyomas were submitted to UAE with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particles. The femoral arteries are the access sites until selective catheterization of the uterine arteries. Imaging regarding uterine volume was performed before the procedure and three months after wards. Clinical follow-up was performed at regular intervals after the procedure to assess patient menstrual characteristics and uterine volume. Results: three procedures were technically unsuccessful because of failure of superselective catheterization. Control of menorrhagia and pelvic pain was reported at three months after the procedure by 86 and 60% of patients, respectively. The initial mean uterine volume was 381 cm³ and after 3 months, 263 cm³. The mean uterine volume reduction was 27.4% after three months of follow-up. Clinical and biochemical findings consistent with ovarian failure were observed in three (20%) patients. Conclusions: UAE represents a new therapeutic approach in the treatment of uterine leiomyomas. The risk of ovarian failure after the procedure limits its use to patients aged 45 years or without pregnancy wish.

Purpose: to evaluate pregnancy outcome after laparoscopic tubal anastomosis. Method: from December 1998 to December 2001, 26 patients with bilateral tubal ligation who underwent laparoscopic tubal anastomosis were prospectively evaluated. Patients' age ranged from 28 to 37 years. The follow-up period ranged from 150 to 425 days and tubal patency (evaluated by hysterosalpingography) and pregnancy outcome were evaluated. Results: laparoscopic tubal reversal was performed in 23 patients. Bilateral reversal was attempted in all except two patients. The operation time ranged from 95 to 155 minutes and all patients were discharged on the following morning. Tubal patency was confirmed in 15 patients (15/23). Pregnancy rate was 56.5% (13/23), without ectopic pregnancies. Nine patients got pregnant in up to four months and four in up to nine months after discontinuing the use of condom. Conclusion: in selected cases, laparoscopic tubal reversal can be performed in patients who had been submitted to tubal sterilization and desire new pregnancies. Patient selection as well as meticulous surgical technique are key factors in achieving satisfactory pregnancy rates.
