Microsurgical fallopian tube transposition with subsequent term pregnancy.
A case is described in which a patient with a non-communicating left unicornuate uterus and surgically absent left tube and ovary delivered at term after a microsurgical anastomosis of the right fallopian tube and left cornua. Pregnancy rates with this type of procedure have been reported to be comparable to ipsilateral tubal anastomosis. Tubal transposition should be considered as an alternative option to IVF-ET in selected patients.
