Abstract
To investigate the positional relationship between the ovary and Fallopian tube and the relationship between theovarian position and tubal morphology. A total of 195 patients with 338 fallopian tubes were enrolledin this retrospective study. The ovarian and tubal positions were defined relative to the uterus in all directions. Tubal morphologywas classified as smooth or tortuous. The distribution of the Fallopian tubes corresponded to the positions of theipsilateral ovaries in the superoinferior direction (χ2 =197.653, p<0.001), mediolateral direction (χ2 =237.447, p <0.001) andanteroposterior direction (χ2 =109.746, p<0.001). Tubal morphology differed according to ovarian position in the superoinferior(χ2 =21.804, p<0.001), mediolateral directions (χ2 =4.679, p=0.031) but not in the anteroposterior direction (χ2 =0.793,p=0.373). Evaluating the ovarian position can provide preliminary information on the distribution and shapeof the Fallopian tube, helping the operator choose the appropriate initial plane and the necessary approaches for inspection.
