Surgical Treatment of the Tubal Infertility: Issues and Options
There are two basic principles in the treatment of the tubal infertility: surgery and assisted reproductive technologies. The high efficiency of the surgical methods of the female reproductive functions recovery in comparison with in vitro fertilization is demonstrated in this paper. According to the literature review there are two effective basic surgical methods: microsurgery and endo-video-surgery in the treatment of the patients with tubal infertility. It was demonstrated that the unsuccessful results of the surgical treatment of the patients with tubal infertility are essentially connected to the fallopian tubes reocclusion and adhesive process recurrence in the small pelvis cavity. According to the new literature data, the different intra-operative and postoperative methods of the improvement of the effectiveness of the surgical management of this patient population were analyzed. However the further examinations are necessary, they will determine strict criteria for the treatment method choice of the patients with tubal infertility. The possible ways to increase the surgical management efficiency of the tubal infertility will be the surgical technique development and working out of the new methods of the rehabilitation therapy oriented to the prophylaxis of the fallopian tubes reocclusion, restoration of their functional activity, prophylaxis of the postoperative adhesion formation. The literature data review showed that surgical treatment and assisted reproductive technology must be considered as complement each other methods that may be used particularly and in combination.
