Failed reversal of sterilization: transcervical transostial recannulation of occluded fallopian tube.
A patient with bilateral occlusion at the site of tubal reanastomosis demonstrated the potential benefits and hazards of attempted transcervical transostial tubal cannulation to restore patency. On one side tubal patency was restored, whereas on the other a false passage was created distal to the reanastomosis.
