Abstract: | Laser tubal microsurgery was carried out on a sample of 82 patients. Employing current laser surgical systems, 21 conceptions occured in 20 patients, after limited exposure to conception risk during the 13-month study. This represents 48% of the 42 patients at risk. Tubal patency was demonstrated in 94% of the 82 cases. Based upon experience to date, more conceptions are expected as more patients become at risk and as exposure increases. |
