Abstract
The “new pathology” seen in fertility clinics is the blocked fallopian tube without palpable disease. The cornu is a common site of occlusion, and bilateral tubal implantation can be highly successful. A less common site of occlusion is the fimbrial end of the tube. Here the surgical technics includes temporary use of a hood to protect the newly opened oviduct. Corrective technics for both types of occlusion are described.
