-
Offers a chance for natural conception after a previous tubal ligation.Can be a cost-effective alternative to multiple cycles of IVF over time.Performed using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques for smaller scars and faster recovery.Utilizes advanced microsurgery to ensure precise, delicate reconnection of the fallopian tubes.Does not involve the use of donor eggs or sperm, allowing for a biological pregnancy with one's partner.
Who is this surgery for?
- Patient desire for future fertility following a prior tubal ligation (sterilization).
- Healthy remaining segments of the fallopian tubes confirmed via imaging (like a hysterosalpingogram).
- Patient is in good general and reproductive health, with a favorable ovarian reserve.
- Absence of other significant factors causing infertility (e.g., severe male factor, uterine abnormalities).

How to prepare
- Comprehensive fertility evaluation, including assessment of ovarian reserve and partner's semen analysis.
- Imaging tests like a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) to evaluate the remaining fallopian tube segments.
- Pre-operative counseling to discuss success rates, alternatives (like IVF), and realistic expectations.
- Routine pre-surgical tests: blood work, ECG, and possibly a chest X-ray as advised.
- Fasting for 8-12 hours before the surgery as per anesthesia guidelines.
- Discontinuation of certain medications (like blood thinners) as directed by the surgeon.

- Risk of damage to surrounding organs (intestines, bladder, blood vessels).
- Formation of scar tissue (adhesions) inside the abdomen, which could affect fertility.
- Failure of the procedure, where the tubes do not remain open or functional.
- Increased risk of an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy following the procedure.
