#53 : Pregnancy Outcome After Hydrosalpinx Aspiration in In-Vitro Fertilization Cycle
Background and Aims: Hydrosalpinx is a severe manifestation of tubal disease-causing infertility in women. It has an adverse effect on the outcome of in vitro fertilization (IVF), reducing live birth rate (LBR) by 50% compared to other tubal factors. Laparoscopic salpingectomy can effectively improv...

| description | Background and Aims: Hydrosalpinx is a severe manifestation of tubal disease-causing infertility in women. It has an adverse effect on the outcome of in vitro fertilization (IVF), reducing live birth rate (LBR) by 50% compared to other tubal factors. Laparoscopic salpingectomy can effectively improve IVF outcome but is contraindicated in some women. It can also be expensive and is not without complications. Ultrasound-guided hydrosalpinx aspiration is a cheaper, less invasive procedure alternative to salpingectomy. It has been shown to improve clinical and ongoing pregnancy rates compared to patients with no aspiration. However, the published literature on the effectiveness of hydrosalpinx aspiration is equivocal. Method: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the outcome of minimal stimulation (mild) IVF cycles wherein the women underwent hydrosalpinx aspiration prior to embryo transfer at a private fertility clinic in the Philippines. Results: A total of 98 IVF cycles satisfied the inclusion criteria. The average patient age was 35.22 ± 4.57 and average duration of infertility was 5.87 ± 3.70 years. The biochemical pregnancy rate was 48% and the clinical pregnancy rate was 39.8%. Live birth rate was 35.7%, which is comparable to that of mild IVF patients without hydrosalpinx. There was a negative correlation between patient age and biochemical pregnancy rate, clinical pregnancy rate, and LBR, however, the correlations were statistically insignificant (Pearson correlation, P = 0.081, 0.197, and 0.344, respectively). Binary logistic regression analyses showed that age, infertility type, infertility factor, basal hormone levels, and number of eggs retrieved were not predictive of the success of IVF among the women in the study. Conclusion: Our results show that hydrosalpinx aspiration is a safe and effective option in improving pregnancy and live birth rates in women undergoing mild IVF. |
