[Peritoneal macrophages and their activity in sterile patients with endometriosis].

The authors analyzed the peritoneal fluid (PF) during laparoscopic examination in 50 sterile women, incl. 27 where endometriosis was found. The control group was formed by 23 sterile women without signs of endometriosis. In both groups the volume of PF, concentration and absolute number of peritoneal macrophages and their phagocytic activity were evaluated. In the group of sterile women with endometriosis there was significantly increased volume of PF, higher concentration and absolute number of macrophages than in the group of patients without endometriosis. The phagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophages did not differ significantly in the control group and in patients with endometriosis.

Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) as a complement to the tubal microsurgery.

We accomplished a transfer of at least one oocyte and sperms in 26 microsurgically operated patients. Two patients were stimulated by clomiphene citrate only, 24 women by a combination of a clomiphene citrate and human menopausal gonadotrophin. The operation was timed 34-36 hours after application of 6,000 IU hCG i.m. After finishing the surgery we transferred maximally two oocytes and 200,000 sperms to each patent tube. Using this procedure three pregnancies occurred (11.5%). However, there was one ongoing pregnancy only. The extrauterine pregnancy was successfully treated with methotrexat and the third pregnancy was biochemical. The number of clinical pregnancies in this modification doesn't reach the referred success rate of a standard gamete intrafallopian transfer.

[Transurethral transvesicular follicle aspiration in the IVF and ET program].

Fifty eight ultrasound-guided transurethral aspirations for in vitro fertilization were performed from October 1987 to June 1988. At that time twenty two laparoscopic oocyte retrievals were done, mostly in patients in our gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) program. All procedures were performed by the same ovarian stimulation protocol under general anesthesia. In the transurethral ultrasound-guided group 143 oocytes were recovered from 207 follicles aspirated (69.1%). The fertilization rate was 52.4% and one clinical pregnancy occurred. In the laparoscopy group 43 oocytes were recovered from 70 follicles aspirated (61.4%). The fertilization rate (because of GIFT procedures) could not be assessed. There were no statistically differences between the two groups. No major complications were noted. Transurethral transvesical ultrasound-guided follicular aspiration should be considered as an alternative route for oocyte retrieval.
