Combining in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) with laparotomy offers a viable option for specific infertility cases. This approach demonstrated a higher pregnancy rate per embryo transfer compared to laparoscopic retrieval.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gynecologic Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic follicular aspiration is standard for oocyte retrieval in in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET).
  • Some patients require laparotomy for gynecologic disorders, presenting challenges for concurrent IVF-ET.
  • Ultrasound-guided aspiration has expanded access to previously inaccessible ovaries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of combining IVF-ET with laparotomy.
  • To compare pregnancy rates between IVF-ET performed during laparotomy versus laparoscopy.
  • To assess the safety and benefits of a single anesthesia exposure for combined procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective comparison of 25 IVF-ET cycles performed at the time of laparotomy with 309 laparoscopic IVF-ET cycles.

  • Analysis of pregnancy rates per embryo transfer for both groups.
  • Inclusion of patients undergoing microsurgical tubal reconstruction.

    • Main Results:

    • The pregnancy rate per embryo transfer was 25% in the laparotomy IVF-ET group, versus 15.4% in the laparoscopy IVF-ET group.
    • Five pregnancies resulted from the IVF-ET cycle with laparotomy.
    • One spontaneous pregnancy occurred after microsurgical tubal reconstruction.

    Conclusions:

    • Combining IVF-ET with laparotomy is a feasible strategy for selected patients with gynecologic disorders.
    • This combined approach offers advantages including a single anesthesia exposure and economic benefits.
    • Extended anesthesia during pelvic surgery did not adversely affect pregnancy rates in IVF-ET patients.
