Abstract
The authors report their findings in 34 cases of salpingitis that were diagnosed and controlled laparoscopically one month after treatment had been finished. Four different elements came up: persistence of inflammation, adhesions, tubal patency and the prognosis for future fertility. It would seem that these last three criteria depend greatly on the seriousness at first of the salpingitis, as opposed to the degree of persistent inflammation. The authors show how valuable laparoscopic drainage of a pyosalpinx is and how valuable laparoscopic control after salpingitis is. Having been given these features they can visualise a new approach to the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic infection.
