In proximal tubal occlusions (PTO) the microsurgical anastomosis or in case of extensive tubal damage the in vitro-fertilisation (IVF) are the treatment modalities of choice. Aim of our study was to evaluate the effectivity of GnRH-analogues in the treatment of PTO. In 23 patients with repeatedly proven proximal tubal occlusion the GnRH-analogon Leuprorelin was applied for a 3 month period. 20 out of 23 patients completed the entire study including a further tubal patency test. 10 patients showed open tubes on both sides and in 2 cases one oviduct was patent. In 8 patients no effect of the hormonal treatment was found. Following the therapy 4 pregnancies occurred, 2 were located ectopically. Regarding tubal patency we could demonstrate a significant effect of hormonal treatment in proximal tubal occlusions (PTO). However, in respect to the pregnancy rate the results were not satisfactory. Therefore, the hormonal treatment of PTO by GnRH-analogues is limited to certain cases and doesn't represent a standard therapy.
