Abstract
We conducted a restrospective chart review of 22 laparoscopic tubal an astomoses performed between May 1987 and May 1991. The procedures were modeled after the two-stitch technique of Swolin. Overall fertility r ates were disappointing in this small series, although the first live birth has occurred. The two-stitch method and available laparoscopic s uture needles and needle holders limited the surgical results. Modific ations of technique and instrumentation should improve fertility outco me.
