TL;DR: Falloposcopy provides a visual means of scoring endotubal disease and may be intrinsically therapeutic for dislodging intraluminal debris and breaking down filmy adhesions in normal or minimally diseased tubes.

TL;DR: Falloposcopy was performed without complication or evidence of endotubal damage in 44 women, 38 of whom also underwent a concurrent laparoscopy as mentioned in this paper, and the tubal lumen was considered to be falloposcopically normal in 28 cases (44%) and contained defects ranging from partial to total obstruction secondary to intraluminal fibrosis within the intramural, isthmic, and ampullary segments in the remaining 35 tubes (56%).

TL;DR: The data suggest that the initiating process originates within the uterus and that fibrosis may represent a nonspecific response to chronic injury of the transmural and isthmic segments of the oviduct.

TL;DR: Seven infertile women, in whom interstitial fallopian tube obstruction was suspected at hysterosalpingography and who were recommended for surgical evaluation and treatment, were treated with catheterization techniques that have the potential to make Evaluation and treatment of IFTO more efficient, safer, and less expensive than presently used methods.
Abstract: Seven infertile women, in whom interstitial fallopian tube obstruction (IFTO) was suspected at hysterosalpingography and who were recommended for surgical evaluation and treatment, were treated with catheterization techniques. Selective salpingography with ostial injection demonstrated tubal patency in two patients; direct intratubal salpingography demonstrated patency in another patient. Four patients with a true IFTO underwent fallopian tube recanalization: in the first two, a small soft-tipped guide wire was used, and in the other two, a guide wire and 3-F catheter were used. The suggested catheterization techniques have the potential to make evaluation and treatment of IFTO more efficient, safer, and less expensive than presently used methods.

TL;DR: A specially designed rigid salpingoscope has been developed to allow inspection of the tubal mucosa during laparoscopy, and an intrauterine pregnancy rate of 59% was achieved in the group of patients with very mild mucosal lesions and absence of mucosal adhesions.
