title: [Laparoscopic treatment of stenoses and phimosis of the ampulla of the tube. A critical study of the results (author's transl)].
abstract: By analysing a series that initially started with 160 cases it is possible to compare the results of trying to cure infundibular stenoses, which means agglutinations and phimosis of the ampulla using the laparoscope or open laparotomy. It would appear that these lesions should be strictly classified and this classification should be based on careful laparoscopic investigation of the infundibulum and on hydrotubation testing. It is then found that these are not good cases for endoscopic surgical treatment. The results are poor whether looked at from the level of fertility that is finally achieved as well as the morphological improvement in the conditions and they are far worse than those following conventional surgery. Therefore it is necessary to conclude that laparotomy is always preferable for a cure of these cases. The only indication for laparoscopic surgery is infundibular stenosis which occurs afterterminal tubal plastic surgery which is by itself not a rare happening.
