Microsurgery in gynecology has improved infertility treatment outcomes, notably in tubal anastomosis for sterilization reversal and endometriosis surgery, leading to significant pregnancy rates and reduced adhesion formation.

Abstract

Microsurgical techniques have changed the outcome of infertility surgery. Tubal anastomosis for reversal of sterilization has resulted in pregnancy rates of up to 65%. In cases of salpingostomy, the ectopic pregnancy rate is quite high. In ovarian microsurgery, postoperative adhesions can be avoided and a 54% pregnancy rate achieved with endometriosis surgery.
