Abstract
Historically, surgical reconstruction of structural tubal and ovarian damage has been notoriously unsuccessful and frustrating. Inadequate surgical techniques and gross instruments and suture materials often led to greater postoperative iatrogenic damage, and the most extensive and complicated operations were followed by the most complicated and extensive postoperative tuboperitoneal adhesions [7]. The average pregnancy rate reported was 15.6% [12], surprisingly enough with no difference between surgical correction of proximal or distant tubal occlusion.
