Background: In this study, we aimed to explore the effect of the timing of surgical management of hydrosalpinx on in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic single-sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) pregnancy outcomes in patients with tubal factor infertility.
Methods: This retrospective study included 377 patients who underwent laparoscopic (LAP) unilateral or bilateral salpingectomy due to hydrosalpinx, IVF/ICSI-embryo transfer (ET), or frozen ET (FET) at the Department of Reproductive Medical Center, Guangdong Women and Children Hospital, between June 2013 and April 2023. Patients were divided into two groups: those who underwent oocyte retrieval first, followed by LAP, and FET (Group A, n = 190) and those who underwent LAP first, followed by oocyte retrieval, and ET/FET (Group B, n = 187). According to age, patients were divided into groups A1 ( < 35 years, n = 136), A2 (≥35 years, n = 54), B1 ( < 35 years, n = 153), and B2 (≥35 years, n = 34). According to the different ET times after LAP, patients were further divided into two groups: those who underwent ET ≤ 3 months after LAP (n = 193), and > 3 months after LAP (n = 184). According to the different oocyte retrieval times after LAP, the patients in group B (n = 187) were further divided into two groups: those who underwent oocyte retrieval ≤ 3 months after LAP (n = 83) and > 3 months after LAP (n = 104). We compared the pregnancy outcomes, complications after oocyte retrieval, oocyte contamination, and time and economic costs between the groups.
Results: The differences in clinical pregnancy, live birth rates (57.9% vs 64.7%)[OR 0.750(0.495,1.137), p = 0.715; OR 0.841(0.445,1.591), p = 0.595], early abortion rates (4.5% vs 11.6%)[OR 0.364(0.127,1.046), p = 0.061; OR 0.320(0.074,1.379), p = 0.126], live birth rates(52.1% vs 52.9%)[OR 0.967(0.645,1.449), p = 0.871; OR 1.023(0.551,1.900), p = 0.941] between the two groups were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). A significantly higher time and economic costs were observed in Group A than in Group B (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: The IVF/ICSI pregnancy outcomes were similar among patients with different timing of surgery. Group B spent less time and economic costs and had a lower risk of complications after oocyte retrieval than Group A. The optimal ET time after LAP was not reflected. the early abortion rates in the group that underwent ET ≤ 3 months after LAP showed a downward trend.
Clinical trial number: Not applicable.
背景:本研究旨在探讨输卵管性不孕症患者输卵管积水手术治疗时机对体外受精/胞浆内单精子注射(IVF/ICSI)妊娠结局的影响。方法:本回顾性研究纳入2013年6月至2023年4月广东省妇幼医院生殖医学中心377例因输卵管积水、IVF/ icsi -胚胎移植(ET)或冷冻ET (FET)而行腹腔镜单侧或双侧输卵管切除术的患者。患者分为两组:首先进行卵母细胞回收,然后进行LAP和FET (A组,n = 190)和首先进行LAP,然后进行卵母细胞回收,ET/FET (B组,n = 187)。按年龄分为A1组(术后3个月)(n = 184)。根据LAP术后取卵次数的不同,将B组(n = 187)进一步分为术后≤3个月取卵组(n = 83)和术后3个月取卵组(n = 104)。我们比较了两组之间的妊娠结局、取卵后并发症、卵母细胞污染、时间和经济成本。结果:临床妊娠、活产率差异(57.9% vs 64.7%)[OR 0.750(0.495,1.137), p = 0.715;OR 0.841(0.445,1.591), p = 0.595],早期流产率(4.5% vs 11.6%)[OR 0.364(0.127,1.046), p = 0.061;OR 0.320(0.074,1.379), p = 0.126],活产率(52.1% vs 52.9%)[OR 0.967(0.645,1.449), p = 0.871;两组间OR = 1.023(0.551,1.900), p = 0.941]差异无统计学意义(p < 0.05)。A组的时间成本和经济成本显著高于B组(p < 0.05)。结论:不同手术时机患者的IVF/ICSI妊娠结局相似。与a组相比,B组在取卵后花费的时间和经济成本更少,并发症的风险也更低。LAP后ET≤3个月组早期流产率呈下降趋势。临床试验号:不适用。
