Between September 1979 and December 1982, 230 cases of tubal reconstructive surgery were followed for 2 years. An analysis of these cases showed 75% to have had more than one procedure performed. There were 91 pregnancies in this group. In the bipolar disease population, 36% achieved an intrauterine pregnancy. Tubal reversal procedure resulted in comparable rates when compared to conventional surgery (71%). The ectopic pregnancy rate was 4.4%, and spontaneous abortion rate was 6.6%. The carbon dioxide laser appears to have a place in the armamentarium of the microsurgeon.
