Popis: Tantalum clips placed on the isthmus of the fallopian tube were applied to 47 women by conventional culdoscopy. After 4 to 28 months, segments of tube were removed by culdoscopy, fixed in 10% formalin, and photographed and examined with and without the clip. Eosin and hematoxylin and van Gieson stained serial sections at 7 micro were also studied. Grossly, the clip region showed thickened serosa which sometimes obscured the clip itself. Histologically, 3 types appeared: 13 had gradual narrowing and reduced epithelial folding, 20 showed a narrow slit lined with flat atrophied epithelium, and 6 had a 25 micron slit, no folds, and flat or cuboid epithelium. Some were infiltrated with giant cells and lymphocytes. In 24 patients the 2 tubes had different patterns.
