What is the incidence of pregnancy following partial salpingectomy?

The incidence of pregnancy following a partial salpingectomy typically falls around 6.3 per 1000 procedures. This procedure involves the surgical removal of a portion of the fallopian tube, which can lead to a decrease in fertility due to the altered anatomical pathways for egg retrieval and fertilization. However, the remaining portion of the tube can still potentially facilitate the passage of sperm and egg, allowing for the possibility of conception.

The incidence figure of 6.3 per 1000 procedures reflects the understanding that while a partial salpingectomy can reduce fertility, it does not eliminate the possibility of pregnancy altogether, due to the remaining functional aspects of the reproductive tract. This is why this specific incidence aligns with the literature supporting the outcomes following such a surgical intervention.
