Abstract
Pelvic adhesions from prior infection, surgery, or endometriosis restrict tubal motility, occlude the fimbriae, and distort ovarian-tubal relationships, constituting a primary mechanical barrier to natural conception. Microsurgical adhesiolysis performed under NaProTECHNOLOGY protocols achieves tubal patency and restores anatomical relationships, enabling natural pregnancy in a substantial proportion of cases that would otherwise be directed to IVF.
