Surgical management of tubal disease and infertility

Reproductive surgery remains an important treatment option for some women with subfertility secondary to tubal disease. This review offers a comprehensive update on current evidence and guidance. Accurate investigation of the cause, site, extent is first paramount, with fertility-preserving surgical procedures reserved for women with mild tubal disease and no confounding subfertility factors. For severe tubal disease, including hydrosalpinx, a shift towards assisted reproductive technology (ART) is more often recommended, with tubal surgery instead offering a valuable adjunct to enhance reproductive success.
