Summary

Endometrial biopsy was used to study the luteal phase in patients with Fallopian ring (Yoon ring) tubal ligation. Luteal phase insufficiency was found in 9.3 % of patients in the study group and in 3.4 % of patients in the control group. The differences are statistically not significant (p = 0.5). The patients with histological evidence of poor luteal phase after tubal ligation presented with oligomenorrhea and dysfunctional uterine bleeding. These results exclude the possibility of some interference with the utero-ovarian circulatory system caused by Fallopian rings.
