Introduction

• Reproductive surgery is using surgery in the
  field of reproductive medicine. It can be used
  for contraception, e.g. in vasectomy, wherein
  the vasa deferentia of a man are severed, but is
  also used plentifully in assisted reproductive
  technology.
• A reproductive surgeon is an obstetrician-gynecolo
  gist or urologist who specializes in reproductive
  surgery
• In assisted reproductive technology
• Reproductive surgery is used for treating
  e.g. fallopian tube obstruction and vas deferens
  obstruction, or reversing a vasectomy by
  a reverse vasectomy

• Surgical sperm retrieval is an alternative means
  of semen collection, where other means are not
  possible, e.g. in posthumous sperm retrieval
• Trends
• Albeit an increase in overall use of assisted
  reproductive technology (ART), surgeries on the
  fallopian tubes and ovaries have decreased.
  Reproductive surgery in women has largely been
  complementary to other ART methods such as
  medication, except for in tubal infertility,
  where surgery remains the main treatment
