[Other indications: tubal sterilization, medically assisted procreation, salpingitis, fibromas].

Tubal sterilization is now commonly performed by laparoscopy. Among the available techniques, clips are easy to install and have a low failure rate. Laparoscopy is of considerable value in salpingitis for the diagnosis and treatment of tubo-ovarian abscesses. In medically assisted procreation, laparoscopy is less and less necessary. GIFT and, chiefly, ZIFT are still performed by laparoscopy in case of infertility with normal Fallopian tubes. Laparoscopic myomectomy is a more recent technique, but further experience is needed to assess its value compared with laparotomy.
