Four morphologically measurable conditions of epithelial cells proved safely recordable by electron-microscopic examinations of the human hydrosalpinx: 1. Epithelium largely normal, with clearly differentiated cells; 2. Epithelial areas with necrobiosis; 3. Regeneration of epithelial complexes; 4. Indifferent regeneration epithelium without definitely indentifiable function of the individual cell. -- Results so far obtained are likely to suggest that functional restoration of partially damaged epithelium of the fallopian tube can be expected, owing to the established regenerative potential of epithelial cells, once pressure has been removed from the hydrosalpinx.
