Abstract
We studied a group of 187 infertile patients who had electromicrosurgery af ter laparoscopy, and falloposcopy. Follow - up information about 154 of the se patients (82.4%) was available. Success rates in terms of intrauteine pr egnancy was inversely related to the severity of peritubal and intratubal a dhesions. Electromicrosurgery should only be preformed when clinical benefi t is reasonably likely.
