Abstract
A 10-year experience is recounted moving from traditional gross implantation methods to microsurgical anastomosis in the repair of cornual occlusion in infertility. Two gross surgical implantation techniques, one involving reaming out the intramural portion of the uterine tube and the other dissecting it out via a transfundal incision, are compared with microsurgical uterotubal anastomosis. The author reports a 4.7 times improvement in the term pregnancy rate after turning to microsurgery and describes his method for anastomosing the transected ampulla or isthmus to the intramural portion of the tube.Entities:
