⚡ TL;DR(Too Long; Didn't Read)

Although misoprostol seems to be an innocent drug helping to overcome difficult transfer conditions, randomized controlled studies under established ethical principles are needed to come to a conclusion.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

Abstract

Objective: To review recent literature on difficult embryo transfer, to analyze the successful case in whom misoprotol (PGEj) was used, during a difficult embryo trahsfer (ET) and to discuss the possible effects and future use of misoprostol Institution: Istanbul'University, Istanbul Medical School, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Istanbul Materials and methods: A twenty-seven year old patient with unexplained infertility enrolled in IVF-ET protocol at our clinic. Results: Intravaginal misoprostol and intravenous magnesium were applied to the patient due to difficult transfer conditions and a healthy term baby was delivered, conceived during that cycle. Conclusion: In order to decrease the incidence of difficult transfer, the cervix must be evaluated before IVF-ET cycle. Although misoprostol seems to be an innocent drug helping to overcome difficult transfer conditions, randomized controlled studies under established ethical principles are needed to come to a conclusion.

Özet

Amaç: Zor embriyo transferi ile ilgili literatürleri gözden geçirmek ve embriyo transferi (ET) sırasında mizoprostol (PGE 1) kullandığımız başarılı bir vakayı tartışarak mizoprostolün olası etkilerini ve ileride kullanılabilirliğini sorgulamak. Çalışmanın Yapıldığı Yer: İstanbul Üniversitesi, İstanbul Tıp Fakültesi, Kadın Hastalıkları ve Doğum Anabilim Dalı, İstanbul Materyal ve Metod: Yirmiyedi yaşında kliniğimizde in vitro fertilizasyon – embriyo transferi (İVF-ET) protokolüne alınan açıklanamayan infertilitesi olan hasta. Bulgular: Hastaya rijit serviks nedeniyle intravaginal mizoprostol uygulamasını takiben 2. defa ET denendi ve başarılarak intravenöz magnezyum uygulandı. Aynı siklus sonunda gebelik ve takiben termde canlı sağlıklı bir bebek elde edildi. Sonuçlar:Zor embriyo transferi ile karşılaşılma olasılığına karşı İVF–ET protokolünden önce serviks değerlendirilmelidir. Mizoprostolün gereğinde ET öncesinde kullanımı zararsız görünmekle beraber etkisinin değerlendirilebilmesi için etik şartlar oluşturularak geniş katılımlı randomize kontrollü çalışmalar yapılmalıdır.
