摘要
The effect of salpingectomy for unilateral hydrosalpinx with a contralateral normal tube was evaluated in two infertile patients in which unilateral hydrosalpinx, visualized by vaginal ultrasound, was treated by unilateral salpingectomy as a preparatory step before IVF. Spontaneous pregnancy occurred in both patients while waiting to be enrolled in an IVF trial. In conclusion, unilateral salpingectomy for hydrosalpinx in the presence of a contralateral healthy tube could result in spontaneous pregnancy.
