Livebirth after uterus transplantation.
2015
Uterus transplantation is the first available treatment for absolute uterine infertility, which is caused by absence of the uterus or the presence of a non-functional uterus. Eleven human uterus transplantation attempts have been done worldwide but no livebirth has yet been reported.In 2013, a 35-year-old woman with congenital absence of the uterus (Rokitansky syndrome) underwent transplantation of the uterus in Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden. The uterus was donated from a living, 61-year-old, two-parous woman. In-vitro fertilisation treatment of the recipient and her partner had been done before transplantation, from which 11 embryos were cryopreserved.The recipient an…
Congenital Müllerian anomalies: diagnostic accuracy of three-dimensional ultrasound
1996
Objective To determine whether it is possible to identify and diagnose accurately Mullerian anomalies with three-dimensional (3-D) ultrasound (US). Design Controlled blinded clinical study. Setting Normal human volunteers undergoing infertility evaluation in a university hospital. Patients Forty-two patients who underwent laparoscopy and hysterosalpingography as part of their work up for infertility and were found to have either a normal uterus (30 patients) or a Mullerian abnormality (12 patients) consented to be evaluated with 3-D US by sonographers who were unaware of their infertility history or of their laparoscopy and hysterosalpingography diagnoses. Interventions Transvaginal 3-D US …
One uterus bridging three generations: first live birth after mother-to-daughter uterus transplantation
2016
Objective To determine whether a uterus from the mother of a woman with absolute uterine factor infertility can be transplanted to daughter and carry a pregnancy with delivery of a healthy child. Design Part of an observational study. Setting University teaching hospital. Patient(s) Twenty eight-year-old woman with uterine agenesis, her male partner, and her 50-year-old mother. Intervention(s) In vitro fertilization with embryo cryopreservation before live donor uterus transplantation (UTx). Induction immunosuppression. Embryo transfer 12 months after UTx, pregnancy controls, delivery, and hysterectomy. Main Outcome Measure(s) Results of IVF-ET, parameters of pregnancy/birth, and surgical d…
Female pelvic congenital malformations. Part I: embryology, anatomy and surgical treatment.
2011
This review covers the most important female congenital pelvic malformations. The first part focuses on the embryological development of the urogenital and anorectal apparatus, morphological features, and the diagnostic and surgical approach to abnormalities. Comprehension of the embryological development of the urogenital and anorectal apparatus is essential to understand the morphology of congenital pelvic abnormalities and their surgical treatment. Congenital pelvic malformations are characterized by specific common features; the severity of which often subverts the pelvic morphology completely and makes it difficult to comprehend before surgery. The development of imaging, mainly magnet…
Massive Adenomyose bei einer Patientin mit Uterus septus completus
2006
Septate uterus is a malformation caused by the defective resorption of the Mullerian ducts. It may be incomplete, or -- less frequently -- complete. We present a case of a uterus septus completus with special emphasis on the endometrial changes. We describe a 46-year-old female patient (nullipara) with a known uterus septus suffering from hypermenorrhea. Sonography demonstrated a massively enlarged uterus with several nodes. Hysterectomy was performed and tissue specimens were routinely processed. Macroscopical examination revealed a 1 230 g-weight uterus septus completus. In particular, the myometrium was enlarged and exhibited a cystic cut surface with several nodes measuring up to 4.5 cm…
Laparoscopic removal of mullerian duct remnants in boys
2003
Abstract: Purpose: Mullerian duct remnants (MDRs) are present in a male pseudohermaphroditic form characterized by failure of the mullerian duct to regress due to insufficient production or peripheral action of mullerian inhibiting substance. The MDR can be asymptomatic but it often results in infections, stones and voiding troubles. Furthermore, it may develop into a neoplasm. Therefore, surgery is mandatory for large MDRs and symptomatic patients. Laparoscopic removal is described. Materials and Methods: Six males were treated from February 1998 to February 2003. Age at surgery was between 3 and 18 years (mean 8.6). All patients showed severe hypospadias and 2 had mixed gonadal dysgenesis…
