[The course of interstitial part of ovary duct in relation to prevalence of pelvic endometriosis].

The aim of the study was to assess the anatomical course of interstitial part of fallopian tubes in relation to pelvic endometriosis. The study comprised of 154 dissected oviducts. In 114 (74.02%) cases the course was tortuous, 21 (13.64%) curved and in 19 (12.34%) straight. Pelvic endometriosis was confirmed by histopathological examination of 12 women. In all of these cases the course of interstitial part of oviducts was straight or curved at least on one side. Any woman who had bilaterally tortuous course of the interstitial part of the oviducts had no endometriosis.
