Abstract
A series of rabbit fallopian tube reanastomoses were performed microsurgically. 10 rabbits were in the study group and 10 rabbits were included in the control group. 6 of the 10 rabbits whose tubes were anastomosed became pregnant. The litter size ranged from 3 to 5 and all were normal. In the control group 9 rabbits became pregnant postoperatively. There were from 5 to 7 normal kittens in each. The tubal patency rate following the microsurgical anastomoses were 80%. Only 2 human tubal reanastomoses have been performed microsurgically by the investigators to date. Nevertheless they have shown that tuboplasty under the microscope is a practical proposition and it is hoped that the greater precision offered by these techniques may improve the results previously obtained in this field.
