Operative laparoscopy for tubal pathology

Acta Eur Fertil. 1992 Sep-Oct;23(5):215-20.

Abstract

Tubal pathology has represented in the last years, the main indication to operative laparoscopy, mainly as a consequence of the widespread use of this technique in the treatment of the ectopic pregnancy. Furthermore, operative laparoscopy has been widely applied to the treatment of the distal tubal pathology for infertility, when IVF/ET failed or was not accepted. The Authors discuss the rationale for these applications of operative laparoscopy and also the possibility of performing by laparoscopy demolitive interventions on the tubes.
