Doctor’s Recommendation: Laparoscopic Surgery for Fallopian Tubes

Fallopian tubes are two thin tubes that lie on both sides of the uterus. These tubes carry mature eggs from the ovary to the uterus. When a woman has a blocked fallopian tube, it prevents the egg from travelling to the uterus thus resulting in infertility. This blockage can occur in one or both the tubes and this accounts for 40% cause of infertility in woman.



This obstruction results due to infections like pelvic inflammatory disease. In the earlier times, fallopian tubal surgery helped to restore the normal functioning of the fallopian tubes. However, with the advancement of medical technology different types of tuboplasty has emerged like laparoscopy and laparotomy.

The symptoms of these blocked fallopian tubes are very rare. Some woman may experience pain in the lower abdomen while some may have abnormal vaginal discharge. However, not all woman with blocked fallopian tubes experience such signs and symptoms.

The blocks are diagnosed with the help of specialized x-rays and dye tests. The other tests are ultrasound, laparoscopy to examine the blockage and hysteroscopy.

When the drugs fail, the doctor resolves to laparoscopic surgery to remove the blockage or the scar tissue that causes the problem. The success of this laparoscopic surgery depends on the age of the patient, extent of blockage and the cause and spot of obstruction.

The tubular procedures for fallopian tubes blockage are:

Tubal reanastomosis – This is done to repair a portion of the fallopian tube damaged by a disease. The diseased portion is severed and the healthy portions are tied together. This procedure is done with small incisions either with laparotomy or by laparoscopy depending on the specialized surgeon.

Salpingectomy –
In this procedure a part of the fallopian tube is removed to enhance in vitro fertilization.

Fimbrioplasty – This procedure reconstructs the fringed ends of the fallopian tube.

The laparoscopic surgery minimizes the stay in the hospital and helps the woman to get back to her normal routine very quickly. About 20 to 30 percent of women get pregnant after this fallopian tube surgery. The success rate depends not only on the problem but also on the skill and expertise of the surgeon.

The risks and complications that go with this fallopian tube surgery are that the woman becomes more prone to pelvic infection. The formation of the scar tissue on the reproductive organs that binds to the wall of the abdomen or to other organs is the other complication of the surgery. There is an increased chance of the woman having ectopic or tube pregnancy after the surgery.
