The syndrome consists of increased elasticity and fragility of the skin, increased laxity of the ligaments of the joints and fragility of the blood vessels. It is rarely associated with pregnancy but when it is several problems arise which are demonstrated in our case. Our patient had a type III syndrome (hypermobility of the joints) or a type IV syndrome (echymoses, Sack-Barabas Syndrome). In the literature the following are reported: premature rupture of the membranes with premature delivery, tears, perineal haematomas and type IV ruptures of the great vessels of the uterus. The best way of delivering and anaesthetising the patient are discussed. The prognosis depends above all on the type of the disease (25% of mothers die in type IV disease). Strict rest and Pfannestiel lower segment Caesarean section operation under general anaesthetic allowed us to achieve a favorable outcome for the mother and for her child.

Research paper thumbnail of P–453 Fertility preservation in endometriosis: Impact of the ovarian endometriosis and it’s surgical treatment on oocyte yield

Summary answer After COS, a prior history for OMA surgery was associated with poorer ovarian responsiveness compared to non-previously operated women. What is known already Endometriosis is a chronic disorder that affects 10% of woman, which can be responsible for infertility. The presence of OMA and/or it’s excision could induce a reduction of the ovarian reserve (ROR), and for some women, an increased risk of premature ovarian failure. Therefore, FP with oocyte/embryo vitrification can be proposed for OMA-affected women, considering the relationship between endometriosis, infertility and ROR. Although a complete surgery excision of endometriosis lesions may be appropriate for some patients to relieve them from pain, the more efficient time to preserve fertility is still unknown in the management of women presenting OMA lesions. Study design, size, duration We conducted an observational multicentric study from April 2015 to December 2019, in two tertiary care university hospitals. Women presenting OMA or having a previous history of surgery for OMA that had performed a FP with COS for oocytes/embryo vitrification during the study period were included. Diagnosis of endometriosis was based on published imaging criteria using transvaginal sonography and magnetic resonance imaging or histologically proven in women who had past surgery. Participants/materials, setting, methods A total of 165 women were allocated to two groups, according to the presence of a previous history of surgery for endometrioma(s). Main outcome measure was the total number of oocytes retrieved. Main results and the role of chance Fifty-one (30,9%) women were included in the group ‘previous history of surgery’ and 115 (69,1%) in the group ‘no history of surgery’. Mean age was 31,6±4,4 years and was not significantly different between groups (p = 0.09). However, women in ‘No previous surgery’ group had higher AMH levels than women in ‘previous surgery’ group (2.27±1.70ng/ml versus 1.56±1.89ng/ml; p < 0,001). In the group ‘previous history of surgery’, 21(41.2%) women had a recurrence of OMA(s) and 31 (60.8%) had at least one deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) lesion at FP. In the group ‘no history of surgery’, 92(80.7%) of the women had DIE. In addition, women in ‘No previous surgery group’ had larger OMA than women in ‘previous surgery’ group (mean diameter size: 5.56±4.34cm versus 3.25±2.16cm, respectively; p:0,03). The mean number of COS with oocyte-retrieval was significantly higher in the group ‘previous history of surgery’ (2.0±1.02 versus 1.65±0.82 in the group ‘no surgery’, p = 0.03), however, the total number of oocytes retrieved per women was significantly higher in women ‘history of surgery’, compared to women ‘no previous surgery’ (13.7±8.4 versus 10.3±7.5, p = 0.02). In addition, the cancellation rate per cycle was significantly lower in ‘No previous surgery’ group compared to the ‘previous surgery’ group (0.09±0.31 versus 0.28±0.53; p < 0.001). Limitations, reasons for caution No data concerning the thawing of oocytes/embryo are available for now. Wider implications of the findings: FP is an essential component to integrate in ovarian endometriosis-management and should be proposed before surgery to optimize oocyte yield.

Ovarian cortex cryopreservation can be a solution to preserve immature germinal cells before gonadotoxic treatment, for later transplantation. The aim of our study was to prove the efficiency of a laparoscopic technique for orthotopic graft after a slow-freezing/thawing protocol, and to evaluate the effect of ovarian cryopreservation and autograft on the primordial follicle survival rate. Experimental surgical study was performed on 6- to 12-month-old ewes. The study was approved by the ethic committee of the Lyon-veterinary-school. The left ovary was removed by laparoscopy and cut in half, and medulla was excised. In group 1 (n = 6), autograft was performed immediately on the right ovary, and in group 2 (n = 6), graft was performed after a slow-freezing/thawing protocol. The second hemi-ovary served as an ungrafted control fragment. A polypropylene/polyglactin mesh was included between graft and base to separate the two structures, to help histological analysis. The mean graft performance time was 71 +/- 8 min in the first group and 57 +/- 10 min in the second. Freezing did not affect the number of primordial follicles. In the ungraft control fragments, the global anomaly rate (cytoplasm plus nuclear anomaly) increased after freezing (p < 0.05). Others results did not reach signification. Pelvic adhesion occurred only once. The post-graft primordial follicle survival rate was 5.1 +/- 2.8% in the non-frozen group vs. 6.3 +/- 2.3% after freezing/thawing. Kruskal-Wallis and Wilkoxon non-parametric tests were used for statistical analysis. Laparoscopy seems to be a well-adapted technique for ovarian tissue orthotopic autograft. The main follicle loss occurs before graft revascularization. Our orthotopic graft's procedure has to be improved to obtain a better graft's neovascularization, and to have a better long-term post-graft primordial follicle survival rate.

Different routes of progesterone administration exist and have varying degrees of acceptability to patients. The aim of this study was to compare two luteal phase support (LPS) treatments: oral dydrogesterone versus micronized vaginal progesterone on the clinical pregnancy occurrence after fresh embryo transfer. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study was a monocentric historical and observational cohort study carried out in the reproductive medicine department at the University Hospital, Femme Mère Enfant in Lyon. All the data were collected retrospectively. Women between 18 and 43 years old, who completed an IVF cycle with or without ICSI, followed by fresh embryo transfer on the second or third day after oocyte retrieval (D2 or D3) or at the blastocyst stage (D5 or D6) between July 2019 and July 2020 were included. The 290 patients included between July 2019 and January 2020 received 600mg per day of PMV. The 290 patients in the OD group included between January and July 2020 received 30mg OD per day. RESULTS In the univariate analysis, the clinical pregnancy occurrence per transfer was comparable between the MVP and OD groups (p > 0.05) (OR [95% CI]): 0.904 [0.630; 1.296]. In the multivariate analysis, OD also appeared to be associated with a similar pregnancy occurrence compared to MVP, with a non-significant difference (OR [95% CI]): 0.940 [0.640; 1.380]. The use of OD compared to MVP did not significantly influence the clinical pregnancy occurrence in any age group. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the clinical pregnancy occurrence, whether the patients belonged to the reference population of the center or not (p > 0.05) (OR [95% CI]): 2.367 [0.568; 3.568]. CONCLUSION This important French retrospective study confirms the safety and efficacy of OD.

Survival rates are increasing due to earlier diagnosis and advanced treatment. One of the side effects of treatment is premature ovarian failure. This is why fertility preservation is part of the initial care of patients, allowing for a better quality of life after the disease. The main causes of premature ovarian failure are iatrogenic (mainly chemotherapy and radiotherapy) in more than a third of cases, idiopathic, genetic and autoimmune. This preservation of fertility should be offered as soon as possible, ideally before gonadotoxic treatments. The same is true when the cause is non-iatrogenic because the age of the woman has a determining role on the quality of the gametes obtained and therefore on the results. The different techniques are embryo vitrification, oocyte vitrification and freezing of ovarian tissue, to be combined when possible with ovarian blockage and/or ovarian transposition.

Adding GnRH agonists could also be beneficial for frozen-thawed embryo transfers. The objective was to compare the administration of Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) agonists during implantation with usual progesterone supplementation in the artificial cycle of frozen-thawed embryo transfers. METHODS A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted in a reproductive medicine center in a university hospital including all women starting an artificial cycle of Frozen-Thawed Embryo Transfers (FET). Two hundred and twenty women were randomized from September 2013 to June 2014. In the addition of GnRh agonists' group, two triptorelin injections of 0.1mg were carried out on the 4th day and on the 6th day following the introduction of progesterone. The primary outcome was the ongoing pregnancy rate. RESULTS The ongoing pregnancy rate was higher (17 % versus 10.6 % P=0.29) when triptorelin was added, although the difference wasn't significant for the population as a whole. The increase proved to be significant in the case of day 2 embryos (34.6 % versus 10.3 % P<0.05) and of vitrified blastocysts (33.3% versus 12.5% P<0.05). CONCLUSION The ongoing pregnancy rate for day 2 embryos and vitrified blastocysts significantly increased when GnRH agonists were added during implantation.

The objective was to compare the administration of Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) agonists during implantation with usual progesterone supplementation in the artificial cycle of frozen-thawed embryo transfers. METHODS A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted in a reproductive medicine center in a university hospital including all women starting an artificial cycle of Frozen-Thawed Embryo Transfers (FET). Two hundred and twenty women were randomized from September 2013 to June 2014. In the addition of GnRh agonists' group, two triptorelin injections of 0.1mg were carried out on the 4th day and on the 6th day following the introduction of progesterone. The primary outcome was the ongoing pregnancy rate. RESULTS The ongoing pregnancy rate was higher (17 % versus 10.6 % P=0.29) when triptorelin was added, although the difference wasn't significant for the population as a whole. The increase proved to be significant in the case of day 2 embryos (34.6 % versus 10.3 % P<0.05) and of vitrified blastocysts (33.3% versus 12.5% P<0.05). CONCLUSION The ongoing pregnancy rate for day 2 embryos and vitrified blastocysts significantly increased when GnRH agonists were added during implantation.
