LA CHIRURGIE DES TROMPES. LE POINT DE VUE DE L'EPIDEMIOLOGISTE

Abstract

A review of modern management of occluded tubes (n = 5123) is presented. Analysis of results is obscured by various methodological issues. These include absence or non-standardisation of grading of tubal lesions, small series and repeat publication of cases. Neither is there any consistency in the ways of expressing fertility after intervention. A management flow-chart is nevertheless put forth. Tubal recanalization and laparoscopic surgery offer alternatives to surgery which are less invasive, cheaper and equally effective. It is suggested that for several cases, in vitro techniques should be selected.SCOPUS: cp.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
