Fallopian Tube Recanalisation

• Fallopian Tube Recanalization is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to restore the patency (openness) of the fallopian tubes, which are essential for the transport of the egg from the ovary to the uterus during the fertilization process. This procedure is often used to treat blocked or obstructed fallopian tubes, which can be a cause of infertility.
• The procedure involves the insertion of a small catheter or instrument through the cervix and into the uterus, and then into the fallopian tubes. The obstructed or blocked areas of the tubes are identified and then carefully dilated or widened, using small instruments, to restore the normal flow of the egg and sperm. This procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia and is considered a relatively safe and effective treatment option for certain types of tubal infertility. The success rates of fallopian tube recanalization can vary depending on the underlying cause and severity of the tubal blockage.
