The study presents 93 patients in whom tubal surgery was carried out for primary or secondary mechanical infertility. A classification of these patients into five groups is suggested. Twenty-four uterine pregnancies were recorded, eighteen of which reached term. A plea for enlarging the scope and number of interventions in more patients of the older group and of the more complex pathologic group is presented and discussed. This approach may lower the the over-all success rate but may benefit some of this group of patients. Last but not least, the follow-up of these patients, who constantly move from one physician to another, seeking more treatment, is difficult. Liaison with referring gynecologists and standardization of methods would be of great help in the follow-up.
