The application of microsurgery in gynaecology is discussed. The necessity for a proper training programme and correct selection of patients is stressed. A classification pertaining to surgical procedures is necessary to compare the results of such surgery. The limitations of microsurgery in dealing with adhesions is considered, as well as the markedly improved results in tubal anastomosis, and the possibility of substitution of oviducts is considered.
