This retrospective study was based on hospital records analysis. The incidence of tubal pregnancy and salpingitis were evaluated and possible correlation between these two diseases was estimated. Despite of many other authors reports about increase of tubal pregnancy incidence we observed decline of tubal pregnancy incidence in studied period. Increase of salpingitis incidence did not alter this trend. Authors conclude that recently reported increase of tubal pregnancy incidence in many countries is valid only in populations studied and can not be generalized. The increase of salpingitis incidence does not necessarily influence tubal pregnancy incidence.

The aim of the paper was to evaluate the results of microsurgical resections of periadnexal adhesions and those within the pelvis, with taking into consideration the index of intraperitoneal adhesions, coexisting endometriosis and possible adhesions within the fimbriae of oviducts with their patency being preserved. Among 40 women operated on, intrauterine pregnancy terminating in delivery occurred in 42.5% of cases, miscarriage in 7.5%, and oviductal pregnancy in 5% of cases. The highest percentage of pregnancies was obtained with the index of adhesion up to 30 points. Above that value the number of obtained pregnancies decreased dramatically. In the group of patients with coexisting endometriosis the percentage of pregnancies was 13.3%, while 33.3% were scored in the group of women, in whom resection of adhesions within fimbriae was carried out. Active endometriosis and changes within fimbriae of oviducts exert unfavourable influence effects of surgical procedure.

Retrospective study was performed upon incidence of tubal pregnancy and histopathologically proved post-infection changes in oviducts. The incidence of tubal pregnancy was significantly decreasing in studied period in our institution despite the fact that salpingitis was found more often. Authors conclude that recently reported increase of tubal pregnancy is valid only in the populations studied and not in general. Relation between salpingitis and tubal pregnancy is not always evident.
