In vitro fertilization in tuberculous infertility.

Twenty women, suffering from infertility due to histologically proved genital tuberculosis, were managed by in vitro fertilization (IVF) in 49 attempts. The main histopathological lesions were tuberculous salpingitis in 12 women, tuberculous endometritis in 5, and pelvic peritoneal tuberculosis in 3. A preliminary evaluation including, particularly, a laparoscopy and a hysteroscopy was performed. Five deliveries and one ongoing pregnancy were obtained. The results suggest that IVF nowadays represents the only treatment for tuberculous infertility.

Hysteroscopy.

Hysteroscopy has become a standard investigational and therapeutic tool in gynecology. Many office procedures done with the hysteroscope can be performed without analgesia or anesthesia. With the use of the hysteroscope lost IUDs can be identified, and the entire uterine cavity can be inspected easily in a matter of minutes. The special features of the microcolpohysteroscope permit contact hysteroscopy to be performed at the squamocolumnar junction regardless of its location, thus offering advantages over traditional colposcopy. The diagnostic and therapeutic applications of hysteroscopy are many and range from visualizing neoplasia to examining the fetus in utero.
