INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF REPRODUCTIVE SURGERY AND FALLOPIAN TUBE (ISRSFT) CIC

What INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF REPRODUCTIVE SURGERY AND FALLOPIAN TUBE (ISRSFT) CIC does

The International Society of Reproductive Surgery and Fallopian Tubes (ISRSFT) is a non-profit professional medical society founded in October 2007 during the World Congress on Fallopian Tubes in Kolkata, India, by a group of clinicians and scientists. Its stated purpose is to promote the study of all aspects of the fallopian tube and human reproduction, encourage evidence-based clinical practice among clinicians, and enhance communication between scientists working in reproductive medicine. The society is led by President Antoine Watrelot, with Kamal Ojha serving as the primary operational driver and Jing Guan as Vice President representing China; Ovrang Djahanbakhch was the founding first President. Day-to-day operations are supported by an executive committee that includes T.C. Li, Ertan Saridogan (Past President), and others.

ISRSFT serves gynecologists, reproductive surgeons, fertility specialists, and reproductive medicine scientists, with particular focus on tubal surgery, fallopian tube pathology, adenomyosis, hydrosalpinx management, gynaecology ultrasound, and HyCoSy diagnostics. Its core products and services are the Annual Meeting (held at the Karl Storz Technology and Training Centre in Slough, UK), a Gynaecology Ultrasound Course at Royal Derby Hospital, a HyCoSy and 3D USS course scheduled at St Bartholomew's Hospital in London (2026), the Master Class on Reproductive Surgery (previously held at Peking University People's Hospital in Beijing), and a recurring membership program providing access to a protected Members Area, educational resources, and priority event registration. Distribution is event-driven, conducted primarily through in-person training, webinars, and partnerships with the Indian Fertility Society and Chinese institutions including Beijing University and Peking University People's Hospital.

The society is registered as a Community Interest Company (CIC) in the UK and operates from offices in Leuven, Belgium (at the Leuven Institute for Fertility & Embryology) and London (at Concept Fertility Clinic). It is funded through membership dues and event/course fees, supplemented by event sponsorships from Karl Storz Endoscopy, Gedeon Richter, IBSA Pharmasure, GE Healthcare, and de Smit Medical. The president characterizes the society as 'rather small' but playing an important role in perpetuating reproductive surgery education, particularly given declining interest in tubal surgery in Western countries relative to ART, offset by strong practice volumes in India and China.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Indian Fertility Society (IFS): IFS is the primary Indian fertility professional society and is already a strategic partner of ISRSFT for joint webinars and events. As both organizations pursue members among Indian fertility specialists, IFS is a direct peer and the most relevant comparison in ISRSFT's Eastern growth strategy.
• British Fertility Society (BFS): BFS is a UK-based professional society focused on fertility and reproductive medicine, hosting annual meetings and training. It is a direct peer to ISRSFT in geography (UK) and target audience (UK fertility specialists), competing for the same limited pool of UK-based reproductive medicine practitioners.
• ALPHA Scientists in Reproductive Medicine: ALPHA is an international society focused on embryology and reproductive medicine laboratory science. It is comparable to ISRSFT as a specialized, membership-based scientific society hosting conferences and educational content, with overlap on the research-scientist segment of ISRSFT's audience.

Broad incumbents

• European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE): ESHRE is the leading European reproductive medicine society, with a broad mandate across human reproduction and embryology. It overlaps with ISRSFT on reproductive surgery and serves a similar European clinician/scientist audience, making it the most direct broad-incumbent peer given ISRSFT's UK/Belgium presence.
• International Federation of Fertility Societies (IFFS): IFFS is a global federation of national fertility and reproductive medicine societies, providing a worldwide umbrella for the field. ISRSFT is operationally similar in delivering international educational content to fertility professionals, though IFFS operates at a federative level.
• Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG): RCOG is the UK professional body for obstetrics and gynecology, setting clinical standards and providing training across the broader specialty. It overlaps with ISRSFT on gynecologists and reproductive surgeons in the UK and is a relevant broad-incumbent peer for training and events.
• American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM): ASRM is the largest US-based professional society for reproductive medicine, covering ART, infertility, and reproductive surgery. While far broader in scope than ISRSFT, it serves an overlapping member base of reproductive medicine specialists and is the dominant incumbent in the same professional society category.
• Society for Reproductive Investigation (SRI): SRI is an international scientific society for obstetric and reproductive research, hosting annual meetings and publications. It overlaps with ISRSFT on reproductive medicine scientists and translational research, operating as a broader incumbent in the same scientific society category.
• Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE): ASPIRE is a regional reproductive medicine society covering the Asia-Pacific region with a broad scope including ART and reproductive surgery. It addresses the same geographic segments (India, China) targeted by ISRSFT's leadership expansion and competes for member mindshare in those markets.

Regional players

• Middle East Fertility Society (MEFS): MEFS is a regional fertility society serving the Middle East through annual meetings and educational programming. It is comparable to ISRSFT as a society-based provider of fertility/reproduction education, but operates in a different geographic region rather than directly competing in ISRSFT's core markets.
