The authors need to be congratulated for successfully showing that women with hydrosalpinges are indeed a heterogeneous group: when hydrosalpinges are clearly visualized by ultrasound, the implantation rate (IR) and pregnancy rate (PR) are markedly reduced compared with other women with hydrosalpinges that were . . .
