Abstract
Proximal tubal occlusion at the uterotubal junction, whether from salpingitis isthmica nodosa, fibrosis, or prior sterilization, requires cornual resection and microsurgical tubal reimplantation to re-establish luminal continuity. NaProTECHNOLOGY treats this as a reconstructive procedure rather than a reason to defer to IVF, and outcomes data support intrauterine pregnancy rates comparable to assisted reproduction in appropriately selected patients.

Ovarian wedge resection reduces androgen-producing stromal tissue in women with polycystic ovary syndrome who have failed medical ovulation induction, restoring spontaneous or treatment-responsive ovulatory cycles. Within NaProTECHNOLOGY, the procedure is performed with precise tissue economy and anti-adhesion technique to preserve ovarian reserve while correcting the underlying hormonal dysfunction identified through CrMS biomarker monitoring.

The CREIGHTON MODEL FertilityCare System (CrMS) rests on a decades-long body of research demonstrating that cervical mucus functions as a physiologically regulated biological valve, opening predictably at the periovulatory estrogen rise and closing in the post-Peak phase. Chapter 15 of Hilgers (2004) synthesizes hormonal, ultrasound, cytologic, and biophysical evidence to establish that a woman's external observation of her Peak Day reliably identifies the fertile window, and documents the system's effectiveness data for both achieving and avoiding pregnancy across a five-study meta-analysis of nearly 1,900 couples.

PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), increasingly designated PMOS (polycystic metabolic ovary syndrome) to reflect its metabolic complexity, is far more prevalent than its classic presentation suggests, affecting roughly six percent of reproductive-age women and carrying systemic consequences well beyond fertility disruption. This chapter from the foundational NaProTECHNOLOGY textbook maps the hormonal architecture of the condition, its ovulatory defect patterns, its frequent co-occurrence with endometriosis, and the restorative surgical and cycle-tracking approaches developed at the Pope Paul VI Institute.
