[Microsurgery in gynecology. 8 years' clinical activity].

A series of 110 patients given surgical treatment for "mechanical infertility of varying origin in 1980-88 is examined". The classification system proposed for the microsurgical procedures available is based both on personal experience and on the classification of the causes of mechanical infertility in women according to aetiopathogenesis. Clinical results are judged in terms of pregnancies achieved and suggest that while adhesiotomy, salpyngostomy, t-t tubal anastomosis and cornual reimplantation are all useful, fimbrioplasty is less likely to give good results, particularly in the long term. Finally the links between gynaecological microsurgery and F.I.V.E.T. and G.I.F.T. are analysed.

Reversal of sterilization by microsurgical technique.

Tubal sterilization techniques that spare the fimbriae and cause the least amount of tubal destruction offer the best chance for reversal of sterilization. Patients seeking reversal of sterilization should be carefully selected. Surgical technique and equipment are important factors in reversal procedures; microsurgical techniques are shown to be more effective than macroscopic techniques.
