A case report to influence therapeutic philosophy when presented with the findings on laparoscopy of a unilateral hydrosalpinx with a contralateral diseased but patent fallopian tube without hydrosalpinx
Purpose: To determine if a patent fallopian tube associated with hydrosalpinx can be associated with unexplained implantation failure of morphological superior embryos. Methods: Salpingectomy was performed on a woman with a patent fallopian tube who had failed to conceive despite the previous transfer of 27 superior quality embryos. A single embryo was transferred using minimal stimulation. Results: Conception and normal delivery occurred. Conclusions: A patent tube with a hydrosalpinx may be associated with failure of embryos to implant. Salpingectomy can correct this defect.
