[An alternative approach to the surgical correction of tubal infertility]. / Al'ternativnyi pokhod k khirurgicheskoi korrektsii trubnogo besplodiia.

The authors compare the efficacy of surgical treatment of tubal sterility using laparoscopy (133 cases) and microsurgical techniques (120 cases). The results were assessed with due consideration for the dissemination of adhesions (first-second and third-fourth degrees), status of the uterine tubes, and presence or absence of chlamydial infection. Surgical correction via an endoscopic access was found to be preferable in adhesions of the first-second degree, whereas in adhesions of the third-fourth degree surgical interventions are inadvisable.
