Microsurgery for tubal reconstruction following Falope-Ring sterilization in swine. Academic Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Thirteen domestic swine underwent laparotomy and sterilization using the Falope-Ring. The silastic band was applied to the isthmus in 6 swine, and to the isthmic-ampullary junction in 7 swine. Tubal reconstruction was performed using the OPMI-6 Zeiss operating microscope. Pregnancy was observed in 5 (83%) of 6 swine following isthmic-isthmic anastomosis, and in 5 (71%) of 7 swine following isthmic-ampullary anastomosis. Overall, 10 (77%) of 13 swine conceived following tubal anastomosis. An advantage to the placement of the Falope-Ring in the isthmus of the swine oviduct could not be demonstrated by chi-square analysis.
