Effect of the timing of surgical treatment of hydrosalpinx on in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic single-sperm injection pregnancy outcomes in patients with tubal factor infertility.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In this study, we aimed to explore the effect of the timing of surgical management of hydrosalpinx on in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic single-sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) pregnancy outcomes in patients with tubal factor infertility.

Methods

This retrospective study included 377 patients who underwent laparoscopic (LAP) unilateral or bilateral salpingectomy due to hydrosalpinx, IVF/ICSI-embryo transfer (ET), or frozen ET (FET) at the Department of Reproductive Medical Center, Guangdong Women and Children Hospital, between June 2013 and April 2023. Patients were divided into two groups: those who underwent oocyte retrieval first, followed by LAP, and FET (Group A, n = 190) and those who underwent LAP first, followed by oocyte retrieval, and ET/FET (Group B, n =
