Hydrosalpinx
A fluid-filled, distended, obstructed fallopian tube, typically the result of prior infection or endometriosis causing complete distal tubal occlusion. Hydrosalpinges are associated with reduced IVF success rates (the fluid may be embryotoxic). RRM options include neosalpingostomy (opening and repairing the tube) when tube quality is adequate, or salpingectomy if repair is not feasible.
