  • Title: Uro-retroperitoneum after ultrasound-guided transvaginal follicle puncture in an oocyte donor: a case report.
    Author: Fiori O, Cornet D, Darai E, Antoine JM, Bazot M.
    Journal: Hum Reprod; 2006 Nov; 21(11):2969-71. PubMed ID: 16940321.
    Abstract:
    Ultrasound-guided transvaginal follicle aspiration is the standard technique for oocyte retrieval prior to IVF. Complications are rare, but some are potentially serious. We report a case of ureteral injury with acute-onset uro-retroperitoneum in a volunteer oocyte donor. The patient recovered rapidly after ureteral stenting. This case underlines the need for all candidate oocyte donors to receive proper information on serious procedure-related complications.
