The technic is as follows:Beginning over the uterine cornu, the serosa is slit with a knife along the upper surface of the tube for about 4 cm. (A, in diagram). By blunt dissection, perhaps better accomplished with very small blunt scissors or mosquito forceps, the denuded section of tube is lifted from its bed (B). Each end is then ligated with linen and the intervening portion resected |
