[Longitudinal salpingotomy and fertility. Experimental study in the female rabbit].

A microsurgical technique of salpingotomy has been put forward for the treatment of ampullary distal lesions responsible for infertility. --An experimental research has been carried out before proposing any application on women. --The consequences on the fertility of a female rabbit of a longitudinal salpingotomy followed by a microsuture have been thoroughly studied. --21 female rabbits have been operated under microscope. --In every case the tubal permeability has been maintained and the rabbits became pregnant. --In some cases histological lesions in front of the suture area have been noticed, what aroused several possibilities as to their origin.
