Tubal diseases account for 25-40% of female factor infertility. Mainly, they involve the distal part of the fallopian tube, and hydrosalpinx is the most severe manifestation. Usually, the management decision is made between reconstructive surgery and ART, depending on the severity of the tubal damage, patient age, ovarian reserve, and seminogram, as well as financial, religious, ethical, and psychological factors. Estimated live-birth rates after corrective surgery range from 9% to 69%. The success rate of IVF is about 30% live-birth rate per cycle initiated in women across all ages with tubal factor infertility. Surgery offers a long-term cure and patients may attempt conception many times but are burdened with perioperative adverse events. IVF bypasses potential complications of operative treatment; however, this has its own unique risks. The effectiveness of reconstructive surgery versus ART has not been adequately evaluated. The success of fertility management depends on a thorough interpretation of existing data and careful patient selection. The presented review provides updates on the most recent progress in this area.
