Question

Fimbriectomy procedure is known as :

• A. Uchida method
• B. Irving method
• C. Madlener technique
• D. Kroener method

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

In gynaecology and obstetrics, the fimbriectomy procedure is specifically known as the Kroener method. This approach involves the removal of fimbrial ends of the fallopian tubes and is often applied in sterilization techniques.

To understand the differences between these methods, here's a brief overview of each:

Method	Description
Uchida Method	This method involves ligation and sectioning of the fallopian tube, often used in sterilizations.
Irving Method	This procedure involves a segment of the tube being ligated, cut, and the proximal end buried into the uterine wall.
Madlener Technique	It consists of applying a crushing clamp to the tube and then ligating it, with less popularity due to potential failure rates.
Kroener Method	This technique involves removing the fimbrial ends, effectively closing off the tube. It is synonymous with fimbriectomy.

The Kroener method, therefore, is identified as the fimbriectomy procedure due to its specific targeting of the fimbrial ends of the fallopian tubes.
