Tubal pathology is the second common female cause of infertility, diagnosed in 30-35% infertile women of all ages.

Dr. Christos Pappas, Reproductive embryologist, Embryolab IVF unit, discusses the mechanism of infertility in tubal disease. His retrospective, observational study aimed to compare the success rates in women with tubal disease to other groups and to examine the effect of tubal disease on fertility. The study showed that the net effect of tubal disease on infertility is comparable to the other factors of infertility
