Active infection in fallopian tubes was identified in 22% of patients undergoing salpingotomy/salpingectomy. However, this tubal infection did not correlate with post-operative fever, suggesting other causes for febrile morbidity.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Post-operative febrile morbidity is a common complication following gynecological surgeries.
  • Active tubal infection is suspected as a potential cause of elevated post-operative temperatures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence of active fallopian tube and peritoneal infections in patients undergoing salpingotomy/salpingectomy.
  • To determine if documented infections correlate with post-operative febrile morbidity.

Main Methods:

  • Cultures of fallopian tubes and peritoneum were obtained from 27 patients during salpingotomy/salpingectomy.
  • Endocervical cultures and serum specimens were analyzed for evidence of Chlamydia trachomatis (IgG antibody).
  • Correlation between infection and post-operative temperature elevations was assessed.

Main Results:

  • Active infection was documented in 6 out of 27 patients (22%).
  • Evidence of previous Chlamydia trachomatis exposure was found in 17 patients.
  • No significant correlation was observed between positive culture results and post-operative febrile morbidity.

Conclusions:

  • While active tubal infections can be present during salpingotomy/salpingectomy, they do not appear to be the primary driver of post-operative fever in this cohort.
  • Further research is needed to identify the specific causes of febrile morbidity after these procedures.
