Pelviscopic tubal surgery: the acceptable vogue

A retrospective analysis undertaken at the University of Kiel by the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, consisted of a 3-year study of cases of tubal surgery with operative pelviscopy (laparoscopy). In the period from 1987 to 1989, 529 patients underwent selective operative laparoscopy specifically because of a tubal factor of infertility. The type of surgery performed was aimed at the conservation and salvaging of the tubes whenever possible, according to the principles of 'Minimally Invasive Surgery'.
