Abstract

W HAT might be termed the “renaissance ” in the surgical approach to infertility occurred during the years immediately preceding chemotherapy and antibiotic therapy. Before this time surgical procedures were attemptctl in various forms but, because of the high percentage of failures, were largely discarded. Little that is new has been added recently to the surgical approach, yet operations previously discarded are receiving approbation. I,itt,le in the present paper is new and much has been said by others in previous studies, albeit under different conditions. It was our endeavor to establish, after all else had failed, the eont.inuity of the lumen of the Fallopian tube. Obstructions encountered were variable and included pathologic processes from without as well as inflammatory eonclitions from within. The duration and extent of such processes necessarily influenced the outcome of our endeavors. Our study included only those patients presenting themselves for treatment after the year 1944.
