What is Tuboplasty?
Tuboplasty is a surgical procedure performed to repair or reconstruct the fallopian tubes, which are the tubes that connect the ovaries to the uterus. Tuboplasty may be recommended for women who have fallopian tube blockages or damage that is preventing pregnancy or causing infertility.
Why is Tuboplasty Performed?
Tuboplasty may be performed for various reasons, including:
- Removal of scar tissue or adhesions blocking the fallopian tubes
- Repair of tubal damage caused by infection, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
- Correction of congenital abnormalities or structural defects in the fallopian tubes
- Reversal of tubal ligation (tubal sterilization) for women who wish to become pregnant after undergoing a previous sterilization procedure
How is Tuboplasty Performed?
Tuboplasty is typically performed using minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy or hysteroscopy, which involve inserting a thin, lighted tube with a camera attached (laparoscope or hysteroscope) through a small incision or the vagina to visualize the fallopian tubes. Depending on the type and extent of tubal damage, the surgeon may use various techniques to repair or reconstruct the fallopian tubes, such as removing scar tissue, reopening blocked tubes, or creating new openings in the tubes.
What are the Success Rates of Tuboplasty?
The success of tuboplasty depends on factors such as the cause and extent of tubal damage, the patient's age, and other factors affecting fertility. In general, tuboplasty can be successful in restoring fertility and achieving pregnancy for many women with tubal blockages or damage. However, success rates may vary, and some women may require additional fertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), to achieve pregnancy.
