[Progress in the treatment of tubal sterility: microsurgery (author's transl)]. 1978

J B Dubuisson, and J Barbot, and R Henrion

During the last few years microsurgery has evoked general enthusiasm in several surgical specialities and especially in plastic surgery. This is also true of gynaecology, where it is used for the surgery of sterility. Tubal microsurgery improves the results of operations by ensuring that the anatomical reconstruction shall be more precise and by lessening the amount of adhesions and secondary fibrosis. The first results that have been published prove this. The superiority of these difficult techniques is especially demonstrated by tubal recanalisations effected after sterilisation when the anastomosis is made in healthy tissue, being from the isthmus to the isthmus or from the isthmus to the uterus. Microsurgery is also the sole hope for the surgery of tubes that are at present inoperable. It will effect transplantation of the tube as soon as the problem of rejection has been solved.

D007247	Infertility, Female	Diminished or absent ability of a female to achieve conception.	Sterility, Female,Sterility, Postpartum,Sub-Fertility, Female,Subfertility, Female,Female Infertility,Female Sterility,Female Sub-Fertility,Female Subfertility,Postpartum Sterility,Sub Fertility, Female
D008866	Microsurgery	The performance of surgical procedures with the aid of a microscope.
D005187	Fallopian Tubes	A pair of highly specialized canals extending from the UTERUS to its corresponding OVARY. They provide the means for OVUM transport from the ovaries and they are the site of the ovum's final maturation and FERTILIZATION. The fallopian tube consists of an interstitium, an isthmus, an ampulla, an infundibulum, and fimbriae. Its wall consists of three layers: serous, muscular, and an internal mucosal layer lined with both ciliated and secretory cells.
