Abdominal wall

It is a very tough disease . I will never suggest any patients with tubal blockage or hydrosalpinx to take a laparoscope. The surgery only solve problems temporaryly, cannot cure the disease radically. Tubal blockage and hydrosalpinx often recur after the laparoscope. That is because the inflammation in the pelvic cavity is still there.
