Successive transperitoneal migration of ova in a woman with extensive pelvic adhesions

Fertil Steril. 1993 Jun;59(6):1311-2. doi: 10.1016/s0015-0282(16)55996-2.

Abstract

Our case report describes three conceptions after transperitoneal migration of the ovum in a woman with only one ovary, the contralateral oviduct, and extensive postoperative pelvic adhesions obliterating the Douglas cul-de-sac. This suggests that anatomic integrity of the pelvis is not always essential for ovum pick-up.
