Decision: I'll go with "proximal tubal openings".

Thank you all for the inspiration I lacked yesterday :)
Holly Hart Apr 26, 2011:
Hysteroscopy If it is hysteroscopy, it will only be the uterine end of the fallopian tubes that will be visible.
John Hein-Hartmann Apr 25, 2011:
From the context provided, it is not clear whether the term refers to the ovarian or the uterine ends of the fallopian tubes or in fact to both. If both, could the term be simply translated as "ends" since the article is for a lay audience?

technically the 'utero-tubal junction'
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallopian_tube
Peer comment(s):
neutral Holly Hart : Actually this is half correct: It's the 'Abgänge' of the 'fallopian tubes'

tubal ostium (ostium of the fallopian tube)

The entrance to the fallopian tube is called the ostium. (from Latin - opening?) I worked in this field and can confirm this is the correct term.
Example sentence:

Hysteroscopy for evaluation of tubal ostium pathology

Hysteroscopic detection and treatment of adhesions at the tubal ostium/uterine junction in infertile patients

Note from asker:
Thanks, I think I'll go with "tubal ostium (opening)" to placate lay audience. Thanks to Doublehhoo, too.
Thanks a lot, Heart, you are absolutely right. If this were a discharge letter, I'd definitely go with ostium/ostia, but since it's for lay audience, I had to compromise :) I hope 'proximal' will be understood [uff!] Sorry I could not split points.
Peer comment(s):
neutral John Hein-Hartmann : There is no doubt this is the correct medical term, but if if we are speaking of a lay audience, would they understand it?

entrances to the Fallopian tubes (from the womb)

If we are speaking of a lay audience for this text, wouldn't this be more comprehensible? It also ties in with the semantics of the word "Abgang" - abgehen - go/going from.
