Microsurgical transplantation of nonvascularized segments of the fallopian tube in the rabbit.
Microsurgical nonvascularized transplantation of a 1-cm segment of fallopian tube was performed using the rabbit as a model. Autograft experiments showed survival of a 1-cm tubal segment for as long as 10 months postoperatively. Allografts survived equally as well, and one rabbit became pregnant.
