Factors influencing the success of microsurgical tuboplasty for sterilization reversal.
A series of microsurgical sterilization reversal procedures has been analysed. It demonstrates that better pregnancy rates are achieved where mechanical sterilization techniques have resulted in only short lengths of tubal destruction. Isthmo-isthmic anastomoses have the most favourable outcome.
