Tubal Surgery

Restoring Fallopian Tube Function for Natural Conception

Tubal surgery is a specialized procedure performed to repair or remove blockages in the fallopian tubes, improving fertility in women who face tubal factor infertility. This surgery aims to restore the normal function of the fallopian tubes, increasing the chances of natural conception.

Who Can Benefit from Tubal Surgery?

• Have blocked or damaged fallopian tubes – Preventing the natural fertilization process.
• Have experienced ectopic pregnancy – Requiring tubal repair or reconstruction.
• Have hydrosalpinx (fluid-filled fallopian tube) – Which can affect embryo implantation.
• Have undergone previous tubal sterilization (tubal ligation) – And now wish to conceive naturally.
• Have pelvic adhesions or scarring – Resulting from infections, endometriosis, or surgery.

Types of Tubal Surgery

Tuboplasty (Tubal Recanalization) – Removing Blockages

• Microsurgical procedure to open blocked fallopian tubes and restore function.
• Suitable for women with mild to moderate tubal blockages.
• Typically performed via laparoscopy or hysteroscopy for minimal recovery time.

Salpingectomy – Removing Damaged Tubes

• Recommended for severe hydrosalpinx or irreparable tubal damage.
• Increases IVF success rates by eliminating toxic fluid from blocked tubes.

Salpingostomy – Creating a New Opening

• For cases where the distal end of the fallopian tube is blocked.
• A new opening is created to facilitate egg transport.

Fimbrioplasty – Restoring Delicate Tube Structures

• Used when the fimbriae (finger-like ends of the tube) are damaged or scarred.
• Helps improve the chances of natural conception.

Tubal Ligation Reversal (Reanastomosis)

• Restores fertility after previous tubal ligation (sterilization).
• Microsurgery reconnects the fallopian tubes for pregnancy potential.

How is Tubal Surgery Performed?

Pre-Surgical Evaluation

• Hysterosalpingography (HSG) or Sonohysterography – Imaging tests to assess tubal blockages.
• Ultrasound & Blood Tests – To evaluate ovarian function and fertility potential.
• Discussion of Natural Conception vs. IVF – Based on individual reproductive goals.

Surgical Approach

• Laparoscopic Surgery (Minimally Invasive) – Small incisions with faster recovery.
• Microsurgical Tubal Surgery – Precision surgery using an operating microscope.
• Open Surgery (Laparotomy) – Performed in complex cases with severe scarring.

Post-Surgical Recovery & Fertility Monitoring

• Recovery time varies based on the procedure (1-2 weeks for laparoscopy, longer for open surgery).
• Follow-up HSG or ultrasound to assess tubal function.
• Natural conception attempts or fertility treatment guidance based on post-surgical evaluation.

Benefits of Tubal Surgery

• Restores Natural Fertility – Eliminates blockages and enhances egg-sperm interaction.
• Increases Chances of Pregnancy – Particularly for women who prefer natural conception.
• Alternative to IVF – For those who wish to avoid assisted reproductive technology.
• Minimally Invasive Options Available – Faster recovery with laparoscopic techniques.
