[When should one operate on polyps of the isthmo-interstitial portion of the fallopian tube?]

The authors analyze the diagnosis and the results of the treatment of 43 patients presenting simple polyps of the isthmo-interstitial segment of the tube with at least a 2 years follow-up. The study was carried out between 1980 and 1983. It was a prospective, non-randomized study. They conclude that the medical treatment, which gives excellent results, is advantageous. Microsurgical treatment (reimplantation or isthmo-ostial anastomosis) is only used after failure of the medical treatment.
