This study found no association between pelvic endometriosis and tubal inflammatory disease, suggesting tubal inflammation is not a primary cause of infertility in endometriosis patients.

Abstract
The incidence of tubal inflammatory disease in women with endometriosis who had undergone surgery was compared with that in women who had undergone similar operative procedures but who did not have endometriosis and with that in a group of clinically healthy women undergoing tubal sterilisation. The incidence of tubal inflammatory lesions was much higher in all women who had undergone surgery than in those undergoing sterilisation, but there was no difference in the incidence of tubal lesions between those women with endometriosis and those not suffering from this disease. Women with endometriosis and tubal inflammatory disease did not have a significantly lower mean gravidity than did those with healthy tubes. It is concluded that there is no specific association between endometriosis and tubal inflammation and that tubal inflammatory disease is unlikely to be a significant factor contributing to infertility in endometriosis.
