Pregnancy outcome of in vitro fertilization after Essure and laparoscopic management of hydrosalpinx: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Management of HX by laparoscopic salpingectomy and LPTO yielded the same effect on the improvement of the pregnancy outcome after IVF. The hysteroscopic placement of Essure devices to treat HX before IVF produces inferior pregnancy outcomes compared with those following the laparoscopic approach. More multicenter randomized, controlled trials are warranted in future research to further examine the conclusion from this meta-analysis.
