Abstract
A patient seen for infertility developed severe endometriosis within 2 years of neosalpingostomy for bilateral fallopian tube obstruction. A retrospective review of infertility surgeries revealed none of 20 pat ients with obstructed tubes to have endometriosis, compared with 66 of 125 (52.8%) with at least one patent fallopian tube (p < 0.001(1) 95% confidence interval 0% to 17% vs 44% to 62%).
