Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the recurrence rate of hydrosalpinges after cuff neosalpingostomy in poor prognosis candidates.
Methods: Forty consecutive patients with hydrosalpinx treated with cuff neosalpingostomy were included. Main outcome measures were recurrence rate of hydrosalpinx after cuff neosalpingostomy, intrauterine and ectopic pregnancy rates.
Results: Intraoperatively, the mean size of the hydrosalpinx was 1.9+/-0.7 cm, and 77% of patients had evidence of pelvic adhesions. Recurrence of hydrosalpinx, whether unilateral or bilateral was 70% (28/40) per patient. Intrauterine and ectopic pregnancy rates were 5% (2/40) and 2.5% (1/40), with a total pregnancy rate of 7.5% (3/40).
Conclusions: Most patients experience recurrence of hydrosalpinx after cuff neosalpingostomy, thus requiring additional surgery such as salpingectomy prior to in vitro fertilization (IVF). In a poor prognosis population, salpingectomy should be considered as the primary treatment for hydrosalpinx prior to IVF.

Distal tubal occlusion is one of the most challenging conditions that the reproductive surgeon faces in the management of tubal disease. This study was designed to compare the pregnancy rates between two well-known techniques for tuboplasty using the carbon dioxide laser from March 1982 to October 1988. Alternate infertility patients with distal tubal occlusion were assigned to either a cuff or Bruhat technique.
