Экстракорпоральное оплодотворение и перенос эмбрионов у пациенток после различных методов оперативного лечения миомы матки

Abstract

Objective. To assess the efficacy of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer in patients who had gone surgical treatment for uterine fibroids using different methods. Patients and methods. This study included 133 patients who were divided into 4 groups depending on the type of treatment for uterine fibroids: no treatment (Group 1), laparotomic or laparoscopic myomectomy (Group 2), hysteroscopic resection of uterine fibroids (Group 3), and uterine artery embolization (UAE) (Group 4). Results. The total number of IVF cycles per patient was 1.8 ± 0.4 after laparoscopic myomectomy, 2.0 ± 0.4 after laparotomic myomectomy, 0.4 ± 0.2 after hysteroscopic resection, 2.1 ± 0.3 after no treatment, and 3.9 ± 0.5 after UAE. Mean number of punctures was 1.3 ± 0.4 after laparoscopic myomectomy, 1.4 ± 0.2 after laparotomic myomectomy, 2.4 ± 0.7 after hysteroscopic resection, 1.4 ± 0.7 after no treatment, and 2.1 ± 0.3 after UAE. Mean number of embryo per patient was 3.8 ± 0.1 after laparoscopic myomectomy, 3.7 ± 0.5 after laparotomic myomectomy, 2.8 ± 0.6 after hysteroscopic resection, 2.7 ± 0.2 after no treatment, and 2.2 ± 0.7 after UAE. Cumulative pregnancy rate was 28.0% after laparoscopic myomectomy, 21.0% after laparotomic myomectomy, 12.0% after hysteroscopic resection, 18.3% after no treatment, and 4.6% after UAE. The take-home baby rate was 30.0% after laparoscopic myomectomy, 23.8% after laparotomic myomectomy, 18.2% after hysteroscopic resection, 16.7% after no treatment, and 4.8% after UAE. Conclusion. The efficacy of IVF and embryo transfer after treatment for uterine fibroids is determined by numerous factors, including age, ovarian reserve, size of fibroids, methods used for treatment of uterine fibroids, time between surgical treatment and IVF and embryo transfer. In women planning pregnancy and treatment of uterine fibroids by uterine artery embolization, especially over 35 years of age, it is advisable to use IVF protocols for cryopreservation of oocytes or embryos before surgery.
