Pelvic venous changes after tubal sterilization.

We studied pelvic venous patterns after tubal ligation and compared them after different tubal sterilization procedures. To this end transuterine pelvic venography was performed preoperatively and after the first and sixth periods postoperatively in 56 women. All procedures that interrupt or interfere with the blood supply were analyzed in terms of uterine congestion, uterovaginal and ovarian varicosities and the incidence of pelvic venous stasis. There is a compelling need for a sterilization method that does not interrupt or damage the pelvic circulation; ideally it should be nonsurgical.

Physiologic changes during CO2 and N2O pneumoperitoneum in diagnostic laparoscopy. A comparative study.

The aim of this work was to study the cardiovascular effects, the acid-base balance in serum electrolytes and chlorides in 50 patients during diagnostic laparoscopy, comparing the use of CO2 and N2O for pneumoperitoneum. The CO2 group showed a significant decrease in pH, a significant increase in pCO2 and a significant decrease in pO2, while the changes in HCO3 and base change were insignificant. In the N2O group, the changes in pH, pCO2, pO2, HCO 3 and base excess were statistically insignificant. The heart rate during CO2 and N2O pneumoperitoneum revealed that both groups showed a significant increase, but in the recovery stage there was a significant increase in the CO2 group (p less than 0.025) and insignificant increase in the N2O group (p greater than 0.05). The other circulatory and electrocardiographic changes are described. CO2 pneumoperitoneum induced a significant decrease in serum chlorides but an insignificant increase in Na and an insignificant decrease in potassium, while the N2O pneumoperitoneum group did not show any significant change in serum electrolytes.

Comparative evaluation of laparoscopy and hysterosalpingography in infertile patients.

A comparative study of hysterosalpingography (HSG) and laparoscopy in the investigation of infertility is presented. From 1973-1977, 352 cases were investigated with both HSG and laparoscopy. In 57.67% of the cases there was complete agreement between HSG and laparoscopy. The study included 168 cases of unexplained infertility and 184 cases with abnormal hysterosalpingographic findings. Pelvic adhesions were demonstrated in 151 cases by laparoscopy as compared to 76 cases in which its presence was only suspected by HSG. Laparoscopy revealed a 57.14% of associated pelvic pathology in cases of unexplained fertility. The present study concludes that laparoscopy as compared to HSG is not only more informative, but also more accurate and conclusive.
