    Abstract:
    We have analysed 54 cases where the patients had two lesions in the tubes and were treated with microsurgery. The results of histological examinations show that chronic salpingitis in the major lesion. Infection was the aetiological cause in 76% of the cases. The results of microsurgical treatment are poor with a low rate of intra-uterine pregnancy: [19.4% (0.08-0.42) at 24-30 months for pregnancies that were continuing and for abortions, 11.7% (0.04-0.33) at 24-30 months using actuarial techniques for estimating pregnancies that were continuing]. There was a high risk of extra-uterine pregnancy [35% (0.18-0.58) at 24-30 months]. These results make us wonder whether microsurgery or in vitro fertilisation should be the treatment of preference in these cases where the tubes are affected in two areas.
