The contribution of tubal and peritoneal
factors in infertility is around 35% . Free and open fallopian tubes are necessary for
gamete transport and fertilization to occur. Blocked tubes (including surgical tubal
ligation), adhesions, and scar tissue are commonly associated with infertility.
Endometriosis, appendicitis (especially when ruptured), abdominal or pelvic operations,
infectious or non-infectious pelvic inflammatory diseases are among the main common causes
in peritoneal factors.
