In 93 selected infertile patients removal of periadnexal adhesions was attempted by laparoscopic procedure. Adhesiolysis was assessed according to Palmer's classification reviewed in Madrid (July 1980). Success was defined in terms of pregnancies, therefore patients with tubal obstruction were excluded. The rate of intra-uterine pregnancies was high (51,6%) and appeared to correlate with the quality of adhesiolysis. The present data strongly suggest that laparoscopic procedures represent a satisfactory method of adhesiolysis and emphasize the critical importance of case selection.
