Late results of salpingostomy combined with salpingolysis and ovariolysis by electromicrosurgery in 54 women.

In 1975 and 1976 all together 54 women were treated with electromicrosurgery for correction of infertility due to peritubal and periovarian adhesions combined with sactosalpinx. Besides the gentle and less traumatic microsurgical method, corticosteroids combined with oxyphenbutazone were given to prevent new adhesions. Hydropertubation was performed on the 2nd and 4th postoperative days. Twenty-one (39%) of the patients became pregnant, 4 of them twice. Out of the 21 patients, 17 gave birth to live children, while in 3 of the 21 patients spontaneous abortion occurred. One legal abortion was performed. No ectopic pregnancies were observed in this unselected material.
