Tubal Recanalization

Overview

Tubal recanalization, also known as tubal reanastomosis, is a surgical procedure used to repair or reopen fallopian tubes that have been blocked or damaged, thereby restoring fertility in women who have undergone tubal ligation or experienced tubal blockage due to other causes. This procedure involves reconnecting the severed or blocked segments of the fallopian tubes, allowing the passage of eggs from the ovaries to the uterus and increasing the chances of natural conception. At our clinic in Indore, we offer tubal recanalization as a treatment option for women seeking to restore their fertility.

Procedure

During tubal recanalization, the surgeon makes small incisions in the lower abdomen and accesses the pelvic area. Using specialized instruments and techniques, the blocked or damaged segments of the fallopian tubes are identified and carefully dissected. The severed ends of the fallopian tubes are then reconnected or reopened, either by suturing them back together or by removing the blockage. This restores the continuity of the fallopian tubes and allows for the passage of eggs from the ovaries to the uterus, increasing the chances of natural conception.

Benefits

Benefits of Tubal Recanalization:

  • Restores Fertility: Tubal recanalization can restore fertility in women who have undergone tubal ligation or experienced tubal blockage due to other causes, allowing them to conceive naturally.
  • Minimally Invasive: Tubal recanalization is typically performed using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques, resulting in smaller incisions, less postoperative pain, and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery.
  • High Success Rates: Many women who undergo tubal recanalization experience successful pregnancy and live birth, with success rates ranging from 50% to 70% depending on factors such as the age of the woman and the condition of the fallopian tubes.

Frequently asked questions

Women who have undergone tubal ligation and wish to restore their fertility or those with tubal blockage due to other causes may be candidates for tubal recanalization. Your fertility specialist will evaluate your medical history and perform diagnostic tests to determine if this procedure is suitable for you.

Success rates for tubal recanalization vary depending on factors such as the age of the woman, the condition of the fallopian tubes, and the underlying cause of tubal blockage. On average, success rates range from 50% to 70%, with many women achieving successful pregnancy and live birth after the procedure.

Tubal recanalization is intended to restore fertility and is not reversible. Once the fallopian tubes have been repaired or reopened, they function as they did before the tubal ligation or blockage occurred, allowing for natural conception to occur.

Like any surgical procedure, tubal recanalization carries some risks, including bleeding, infection, and injury to surrounding organs. Your surgeon will discuss these risks with you before the procedure and take steps to minimize them.
