The improvement of the embryo culture media is of high relevance due to its influence on successful implantation rates, pregnancy, neonatal outcomes, and potential effects in adult life. The ideal conditions for embryo development are those naturally...
The most frequent form of ectopic pregnancy, known as tubal pregnancy, leads to a dangerous situation where the fertilized ovum implants inside a fallopian tube, which can result in tubal rupture and severe bleeding. The purpose of this narrative rev...
Isolated tubal torsions presenting to the emergency department are a very rare cause of pediatric acute abdominal pain. Since making the diagnosis early is of importance in terms of affecting tubal damage and fertility, we aimed to evaluate cases of...

Objectives: Major gynecological surgeries are indicated for the treatment of female genital pathologies. It is key to examine trends in gynecologic surgical procedures and updated recommendations by international gynecological societies to find oppor...
Synopsis: Nowadays there are no clinical, laboratory, or ultrasound criteria to differentiate ectopic tubal pregnancy from tubal molar pregnancy, so a preoperative diagnosis is not possible. Objective: Tubal ectopic hydatidiform moles are a rare type...
Although stimulated by more profound issues, Galilei’s quote could be applied to today’s changing understanding of the origin of ovarian carcinoma and how that knowledge might be used to prevent cancer.[...]
Hydrosalpinx is a fluid occlusion and distension of the fallopian tubes, often resulting from pelvic inflammatory disease, which reduces the success of artificial reproductive technologies (ARTs) by 50%. Tubal factors account for approximately 25% of...
The mammalian oviduct is a highly specialized structure where fertilization and early embryonic development occur. Its mucosal epithelium is involved in maintaining and modulating a dynamic intraluminal fluid. The oviductal epithelium consists of cil...
Menopause can occur spontaneously (natural menopause) or it can be surgically induced by oophorectomy. The symptoms and complications related to menopause differ from one patient to another. We aimed to review the similarities and differences between...
Background/Objectives: Although ectopic pregnancy has been extensively studied in terms of epidemiology, associated risk factors, diagnostic approaches, and treatment modalities, the data regarding its impact on the development of adverse outcomes in...
