A series of 110 patients given surgical treatment for "mechanical infertility of varying origin in 1980-88 is examined". The classification system proposed for the microsurgical procedures available is based both on personal experience and on the classification of the causes of mechanical infertility in women according to aetiopathogenesis. Clinical results are judged in terms of pregnancies achieved and suggest that while adhesiotomy, salpyngostomy, t-t tubal anastomosis and cornual reimplantation are all useful, fimbrioplasty is less likely to give good results, particularly in the long term. Finally the links between gynaecological microsurgery and F.I.V.E.T. and G.I.F.T. are analysed.
