Who is this surgery for?
- Diagnosis of tubal factor infertility due to fimbrial blockage or phimosis (a condition where the fimbriae are clumped together).
- Distal tubal occlusion identified via a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) or diagnostic laparoscopy.
- Presence of peritubal adhesions that encase or distort the fimbrial end of the fallopian tube.
- Hydrosalpinx (a fluid-filled, blocked fallopian tube) where the tube is deemed salvageable.
- Prior infection (like Pelvic Inflammatory Disease) or endometriosis causing fimbrial damage.
- As an alternative to salpingectomy (tube removal) before IVF in select cases.
How to prepare
- Complete fertility evaluation, including semen analysis for the partner and ovarian reserve testing.
- Diagnostic imaging such as a Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) to confirm tubal pathology.
- Pre-operative blood tests, urine analysis, and possibly an ECG or chest X-ray as advised.
- Discussion with the anaesthetist regarding medical history and anaesthesia plan.
- Fasting for 8-12 hours before the surgery as per hospital protocol.
- Discontinuation of certain medications (like blood thinners) as directed by the doctor.
- Arranging for assistance and transport for the day of surgery and initial recovery.
Risks & possible complications
- General risks associated with anaesthesia.
- Bleeding, infection, or injury to surrounding organs (bladder, bowel, blood vessels).
- Formation of new adhesions (scar tissue) post-surgery, which could re-block the tube.
- Risk of ectopic (tubal) pregnancy following the procedure.
- Possibility that the procedure may not successfully restore tubal function.
- Rare complications like deep vein thrombosis or adverse reaction to surgical gases.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Hospital discharge typically occurs within 1-2 days post-surgery.
- Manage mild pain and shoulder tip pain (from gas) with prescribed medications.
- Keep incision sites clean and dry; watch for signs of infection (redness, swelling, discharge).
- Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and sexual intercourse for 2-3 weeks as advised.
- Most patients can return to light desk work within a week.
- Follow-up appointment with the gynaecologist to discuss surgical findings and next steps.

Ananya Ali, a 32-year-old architect, had...
Ananya Ali, a 32-year-old architect, had been trying to conceive for three years with her husband. Her history included a previous chlamydia infection in her early twenties, treated but potentially causing silent damage. Her primary symptom was unexplained infertility despite regular ovulation and her husband's normal semen analysis. A hysterosalpingogram (HSG) revealed bilateral fimbrial phimosis, the delicate finger-like ends of her fallopian tubes were swollen and stuck together, preventing them from picking up an egg. Her obstetrician-gynecologist recommended laparoscopic fimbrioplasty to gently open and reconstruct these fimbriae, explaining it as a minimally invasive 'repair job' to restore normal tube function. Ananya felt anxious but hopeful during the procedure under general anesthesia. The recovery involved mild abdominal discomfort and bloating for about a week. Six months after the procedure, Ananya conceived naturally. Her emotional journey shifted from feeling broken and blaming her past infection to empowered relief; the surgery addressed a tangible problem, giving her renewed hope and ultimately profound joy.
