| In Germany, Dr. Kurt Senn used a scope called a laparoscope or flank scope inserted below the umbilicus to close off Fallopian tubes in sterilization operations. |
| Fallopian tube patency can be confirmed by detecting an enhanced signal after instilling microbubbles into the uterine cavity. |
| The majority of operations described involved cutting the Fallopian tube and oversewing the cut end so that it was hidden. |
| Fertilisation of the egg by the sperm takes place in one of the two Fallopian tubes. |
| Fertilization is accomplished in vitro and fertilized eggs are surgically transferred to the Fallopian tubes approximately 24 hours after the egg retrieval. |
| Salpingectomy is the cutting away of the whole or of a piece of the Fallopian tube. |
