Tubal factors are the most common infertility factors. There are numerous tubal abnormalities causing female infertility.

Kadın infertilitesinde temel nedenler; servikal, uterin, tübal ve ovulatuar faktör olarak gruplandırılır. Bunlar arasında en sık görüleni tubal faktördür. Tüp ile infertiliteye neden olan bir çok anormallik vardır. Bu yazıda infertilteye neden olan proksimal tubal obstrüksiyon, distal tubal obstrüksiyon, salpingitis isthmica nodosa ve sterilizasyon sonrası tüpün tekrar açılması kilnik antiteleri, bunların tanısı ve tedavi seçenekleri kısaca gözden geçirilmiştir. Anahtar kelimeler: Kadın infertilitesi, Tubal faktör, Tubal anormallikler.
