Abstract 

We studied a group of 187 infertile patients who had electromicrosurgery after laparoscopy, and falloposcopy. Follow – up information about 154 of these patients (82.4%) was available. Success rates in terms of intrauteine pregnancy was inversely related to the severity of peritubal and intratubal adhesions. Electromicrosurgery should only be preformed when clinical benefit is reasonably likely.
