		-Infertility Surgery-

						Infertility Surgery Causes of infertility can be categorized in two ways: Those which can be treated by medication. Those which can be corrected only by a surgical procedure. A special category of surgery was developed called Infertility Surgery. Infertility surgery is different from usual abdominal surgery in several specific and important ways: It is usually limited to the pelvic area. It involves parts of the reproductive organs. It should be corrective in nature, not destructive or extirpatory. Organs and their parts are removed only if absolutely necessary. Once removed they cannot be replaced. Surgery should be as atraumatic as possible. The organs must be handled gently and with care. Many abnormalities caused by various diseases can be successfully corrected by an experienced surgeon, thus accomplishing two goals simultaneously: treating the disease and enabling a patient to conceive one or more children the "old-fashioned" way, without the need of In Vitro Fertilization or GIFT. If done improperly, however, surgery could make the underlying problem worse. It is important that an operating microscope and special instrumentations are used to work with utmost care and precision. To recognize the uniqueness of such surgery and to improve communication and experience among fellow fertility surgeons, the Society of Reproductive Surgeons was formed. Dr. J. Marik, our director, is a charter member of this Society. He has lectured and trained surgeons in this country as well as in Europe and South America. For his efforts he received numerous awards.
