DR. HEBER DUNAWAY: The surgical management of infertility centers around primarily three areas. We have patients who have pelvic adhesions secondary to some type of pelvic infection or previous surgical procedure. We have patients who have uterine fibroids, which are smooth muscle tumors of the uterus which can distort the uterus, can either cause miscarriage or have some problem with tubal function. We also have patients who have endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain and adhesions as a result of the endometriosis. These are the three primary areas that we deal with on a daily basis.
