[Uterine abnormality and fallopian tube damage--surgical correction in one session?]

From 1983 to 1990 15 metroplasties were carried out at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Greifswald. 11 of these operations were combined with a microsurgical tubal operation. For the diagnostics of uterus malformation and tubal damage as many methods as possible (hysterosalpingography, laparoscopy with chromotubation, hysteroscopy and sonography) should be used. A postoperative life birth rate of 62.5% shows that an operative correction of uterus malformation and tubal damage in one session is justified. Metroplasty is also indicated at primary tubal sterility with simultaneous uterus malformation. A caesarean section is not primarily indicated after metroplasty.
