ABSTRACT
Infertility, in young and/or reproductive age women, is frequently caused by misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis and treatment of acute conditions, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, appendicitis, ectopic pregnancy, etc. It is also caused by surgical procedures that are unnecessary, unnecessarily extensive, and/or traumatic, resulting in damage to or loss of normal reproductive organs and the development of postoperative adhesions (1). Our purpose in this chapter is to increase awareness about these issues.
