ABSTRACT
Could IVF replace reproductive surgery? The answer is no. Reproductive surgery still has a place, at least in some indications that will be explored in this contribution. While IVF can offer infertile couples the chance to have a healthy baby, it should be acknowledged that reproductive surgery can heal or harm the organs where reproduction takes place. This paper reviews different diseases and conditions with an impact on fertility, which may benefit from the technological innovations of recent decades, novel applications and the skill of reproductive surgeons. Reproductive surgery is certainly not dead. It lives on with the promise of restoring the functional anatomy to enhance the chances of pregnancy. It is our responsibility to train young residents adequately in this field to provide the right treatment at the right time.
