Introduction: Reproductive surgery: glimpses into the past and thoughts for the future (part 1).

This month's Views and Reviews sets the stage for a two part series regarding reproductive surgery. The development, importance, and implications for reproductive surgery in the setting of assisted reproductive technology is discussed. Images and videos augment the authors' reflections of the past, present, and/or future. This series will not include a focus on uterine transplantation as this will be a future topic of its own.
