Laparoscopic Tubal Disconnection Versus Laparoscopic Salpingectomy in Infertile Patients
150 participantsStarted 2023-08-30
Plain-language summary
Tubal factor infertility is known to be one of the most common indications for IVF treatment. Patients with hydrosalpinges have been identified to have poor pregnancy outcomes such as lower implantation and pregnancy rates \& higher rates of spontaneous abortion and ectopic pregnancies. Surgical intervention can be recommended for patients with hydrosalpinx prior to IVF/ICSI.
This study will be done at Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital, to compare laparoscopic salpingectomy \& laparoscopic tubal disconnection as two surgical modalities of treatment of unilateral or bilateral hydrosalpinges in women older than 30 years and scheduled for IVF/ICSI, regarding implantation rates, clinical pregnancy rates, ongoing pregnancy rates, ectopic pregnancy rates, and operative complications.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
