Abstract

Proximal tubal occlusion at the uterotubal junction, whether from salpingitis isthmica nodosa, fibrosis, or prior sterilization, requires cornual resection and microsurgical tubal reimplantation to re-establish luminal continuity. NaProTECHNOLOGY treats this as a reconstructive procedure rather than a reason to defer to IVF, and outcomes data support intrauterine pregnancy rates comparable to assisted reproduction in appropriately selected patients.
