Surgical Methods

There are two basic principles in the treatment of the tubal infertility: surgery and assisted reproductive technologies. The high efficiency of the surgical methods of the female reproductive functions recovery in comparison with in vitro fertilization is demonstrated in this paper. According to the literature review there are two effective basic surgical methods: microsurgery and endo-video-surgery in the treatment of the patients with tubal infertility. It was demonstrated that the unsuccessful results of the surgical treatment of the patients with tubal infertility are essentially connected to the fallopian tubes reocclusion and adhesive process recurrence in the small pelvis cavity. According to the new literature data, the different intra-operative and postoperative methods of the improvement of the effectiveness of the surgical management of this patient population were analyzed. However the further examinations are necessary, they will determine strict criteria for the treatment method choice of the patients with tubal infertility. The possible ways to increase the surgical management efficiency of the tubal infertility will be the surgical technique development and working out of the new methods of the rehabilitation therapy oriented to the prophylaxis of the fallopian tubes reocclusion, restoration of their functional activity, prophylaxis of the postoperative adhesion formation. The literature data review showed that surgical treatment and assisted reproductive technology must be considered as complement each other methods that may be used particularly and in combination.

The aim of the study was to study the influence of the ovarian endometrioma on the ovarian reserve, the ovarian response in ovarian hyperstimulation, and outcomes of assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Material and methods. The study included 43 infertility patients underwent the surgical treatment of an ovarian endometrioma in the history. During the study, the follicles were counted separately (according to transvaginal ultrasound), eggs and embryos were obtained from the operated and intact ovaries. Results. The number of follicles in the ovary, operated due to endometriosis, is significantly lower than in the contralateral ovary (p = 0.005). The number of ovules punctured from the ovary, operated for endometriosis, is less than the number of ovules obtained from the intact ovary, but the difference does not reach statistical significance (p = 0.07). The number of high-quality embryos obtained from the ovary, operated for endometrioma, is statistically significantly lower than the number of similar embryos obtained from the intact ovary (p = 0.013). Conclusion. According to the conducted study, it can be concluded that the surgical treatment of endometrioma in infertility patients with the need for the implementation of the reproductive function reduces the number of follicles in the operated ovary and, accordingly, does not lead to an improvement in indices of the infertility treatment using ART. At the same time, the very presence of endometrioma is also known to negatively impact on outcomes of ART. Therefore, in infertility patients with the reduced ovarian reserve, individualization of approaches to treatment is extremely important.

This paper provides an analysis of how cultural notions of the body and kinship conveyed through Western medical technologies and practices in Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) bring together India's colonial history and its economic development through outsourcing, globalisation and instrumentalised notions of the reproductive body in transnational commercial surrogacy. Essential to this industry is the concept of the disembodied uterus that has arisen in scientific and medical practice, which allows for the logic of the ‘gestational carrier’ as a functional role in ART practices, and therefore in transnational medical fertility travel to India. Highlighting the instrumentalisation of the uterus as an alienable component of a body and subject – and therefore of women's bodies in surrogacy – helps elucidate some of the material and political stakes that accompany the growth of the fertility travel industry in India, where histories of privilege and difference converge. I conclude that the metaphors we use to structure our understanding of bodies and body parts impact how we imagine appropriate roles for people and their bodies in ways that are still deeply entangled with imperial histories of science, and these histories shape the contemporary disparities found in access to medical and legal protections among participants in transnational surrogacy arrangements.

Poor Ovarian Responders

The paper analyzes the literature data on the use of the growth hormone (GH) in ovarian stimulation in assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Routine use of GH in ovarian stimulation in patients with a normal GH level does not increase pregnancy and childbirth rates in ART. Also, no benefits of using GH have been identified for patients with polycystic ovary syndrome, despite the increase in insulin and IGF-1 blood levels. The main research focus is to study the use of GH in patients with poor ovarian response. According to the meta-analysis conducted by X.-L. Li et al. (2017), GH in ovarian stimulation of poor ovarian responders increases the number of received oocytes, mature oocytes number, reduces the embryo transfer cancellation rate and does not affect the fertilization rate. The pregnancy and live birth rates are significantly higher in the group of GH use - by 1.65 (95% CI 1.23-2.22) and 1.73 (95% CI 1.25-2.40) times, respectively. Thus, it is advisable to use GH in ovarian stimulation in poor ovarian responders, since it allows to increases live birth rate in ART. However, further studies should determine the optimal GH dose and assesse it`s safety in ART programs.
