  • Title: [Infertility associated with polyps of the interstitial portion of the fallopian tubes. Experience with 26 cases treated by microsurgery].
    Author: Salat-Baroux J, Antoine JM, Dubois JG.
    Journal: J Gynecol Obstet Biol Reprod (Paris); 1989; 18(2):235-9. PubMed ID: 2656838.
    Abstract:
    Twenty-six patients with infertility, from two to ten years, associated to 21 bilateral and 5 unilateral (with contralateral salpingectomy) cornual polyps, underwent a microsurgical procedure, either by resection and anastomosis in 19 cases, or a simple polypectomy in 5 cases and a mixed procedure in 2 cases. The rate of patency, at least for one tube, was 88.5%. The rate of intra-uterine pregnancies was 46.4% (10/26 cases, 38.5%, achieved a full term pregnancy). It is concluded that the surgical procedure, either resection of the intra-mural segment of the tube, or a simple polypectomy, must be considered in case of large polyps, after at least three years of infertility.
