Abstract
The restoration of normal tubo-ovarian function was investigated in a training program using oviduct anastomosis in the rabbit as an experimental model. Ovulation rate, pregnancy rate, nidation index, implantation failure index and degree of adhesions were used as parameters. More than 100 anastomoses had to be performed to reach a perfect degree of atraumatic, function-restoring surgery. Apparently, the most difficult aspect in female infertility surgery is not the use of the operating microscope but the experience in applying the principles of atraumatic surgery.
