Dr Jasdev Singh
Tubal Surgery
Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes can stop egg and sperm meeting. Keyhole surgery can sometimes open or repair them, or help decide whether IVF suits you better.
Laparoscopic Surgery
Repairing or assessing the fallopian tubes
The fallopian tubes carry the egg from the ovary to the womb, and are where fertilisation usually happens. Tubes may be blocked or damaged by infection, endometriosis or previous surgery. Tubal surgery aims to open, repair or free them.
Surgery is not always the right choice for damaged tubes. In some cases, IVF is more suitable.
Dr Jasdev explains the choice between surgery and IVF honestly, based on your tubes, age and other factors.
Careful assessment before surgery
Scans, symptoms and past operations are reviewed, so surgery is only suggested when it is likely to help.
Fertility kept in mind
If you hope to conceive in future, surgery is planned to protect your womb, tubes and ovaries as far as possible.

You will know what recovery involves, when to return to normal activities and when your review is due.

How the surgery works
Under general anaesthetic, a laparoscope is used to examine the tubes. Adhesions around them can be released, and blocked ends can sometimes be opened. Dye is passed through the tubes to check whether they are open. Severely damaged tubes may be removed or blocked before IVF.
Who may benefit
Women with mild tubal damage or adhesions around the tubes, especially if they are younger and their other fertility tests are normal.
What to expect
Most women go home the same day or the next. Recovery usually takes one to two weeks. You will be advised how long to try naturally and when to consider IVF.

Your questions about tubal surgery
What is tubal surgery?
It is keyhole surgery to assess and repair the fallopian tubes, or release scar tissue around them.
Who is it suitable for?
Women with mild tubal damage who hope to conceive naturally. Severe damage is often managed with IVF instead.
What tests are needed first?
A tubal test, egg reserve tests and your partner’s semen analysis, to make sure surgery is the right step.
Is it painful or risky?
Soreness is common for a week or two. Risks include infection and injury to nearby organs. After tubal surgery, the risk of ectopic pregnancy is higher.
