RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the outcomes of single-point anastomosis of the fallopian tube under a laparoscope.Methods Totally,31 patients(58 fallopian tubes)were treated with laparoscopic single-point anastomosis using 3-mm laparoscopic instruments after ligation(17 cases)or failed hysteroscopic recanalization(14)of the fallopian tubes.Ureteral catheter or transcervical guidewire or stents were used if the sizes of the tubes were irregular.Results The 58 fallopian tubes were anastomosed successfully by a single operation.Radiography performed 3 months postoperation showed bilateral fallopian tube occlusion in 2 patients,and lateral tube occlusion in 5.The postoperative patency rate was 84.5%(49/58).A 6-to 36-month follow-up was carried out in 26 of the 31 patients.Among the 26 patients,17 had uterine pregnancy with a pregnancy rate of 65.4%(17/26),2 patients had fallopian tubal pregnancy,and 7 had no pregnancy.Conclusions Laparoscopic single-point anastomosis is feasible after ligation or failed recanalization of the fallopian tube.Patients have less surgical trauma,faster recovery and less intra-abdominal injury by treating with the procedure.
