Dr Jasdev Singh
Hydrosalpinx & Tubal Surgery
Damaged or fluid filled tubes can prevent natural conception and lower the chance of IVF working. Surgery is tailored to how you plan to conceive.
Fertility Preserving Gynaecological Surgery
Tubal surgery shaped around how you plan to conceive
Tubal surgery covers repairing the tubes, releasing adhesions around them and treating a hydrosalpinx, a blocked tube filled with fluid. If you hope to conceive naturally, the aim may be to open or free the tubes. If you are planning IVF, a damaged tube may be removed or blocked instead.
It can be hard to accept that a tube cannot be saved. Understanding the reasons helps you move forward.
Dr Jasdev explains which option suits your situation, based on the state of your tubes and your age.
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.
Clear recovery guidance
You will know what recovery involves, when to return to normal activities and when your review is due.
What this surgery gives you
- A clear assessment of your tubes
- Repair when the tubes can work again
- Removal or blocking of damaged tubes before IVF
How your care is planned

Review tubal tests and fertility results
Assess the tubes by laparoscopy
Repair, remove or block them based on your plan
How surgery is tailored
Mild damage or adhesions can be treated to help natural conception. Severely damaged tubes are unlikely to work well and, if fluid is present, may lower the chance of IVF working, so removal or blocking is advised. The choice is discussed before surgery and confirmed by what is seen.
Who may benefit
Women with blocked or damaged tubes, adhesions around the tubes, or a hydrosalpinx, whether they plan to conceive naturally or through IVF.
What to expect
Most women go home the same day or the next. Recovery usually takes one to two weeks. You will receive a clear plan for trying naturally or starting IVF. An early scan in any future pregnancy is important after tubal surgery.
How Dr Jasdev works with you
He combines surgical and fertility experience, and he explains each option plainly, including when surgery may not be needed. Plans follow current evidence and your hopes for the future. You will have time to ask questions before anything is decided. Women see him from Kuala Lumpur and across Malaysia, and some travel from neighbouring countries.

Your questions about tubal surgery
What does tubal surgery involve?
It is keyhole surgery to repair, free, remove or block the fallopian tubes, depending on their condition and your plans.
Who is it suitable for?
Women with tubal damage or a hydrosalpinx who are planning a pregnancy, naturally or with IVF.
What tests are needed first?
A tubal test, egg reserve tests and a semen analysis, so the whole picture is clear.
Is it painful or risky?
Soreness is common for a week or two. Risks include infection, injury to nearby organs and a higher chance of ectopic pregnancy after tubal repair.
