Tubal Recanalization

The word recanalization is just a fancy medical term for re-opening. Here, we are re-opening a woman’s fallopian tube. And why would we do that?

The ovaries release an egg, which moves into the fallopian tube. Here, the sperm travels to the fallopian tube and fertilizes the egg. Now, imagine if the fallopian tube is blocked. Even without an advanced degree you must be able to perceive that this could be a potential reason for infertility, and you wouldn’t be entirely wrong. There are several cases where a simple procedure like Tubal Recanalization led to conception and a healthy baby.

There are numerous reasons for the blockage of the fallopian tube. A common cause is the build-up of debris. Scarring from any previous surgery can also cause a blockage in the fallopian tubes. There are also several infections that are known to cause a blockage.

There have been well-documented studies that show that the success rate of such a procedure is more than 90 percent and at-least one of the fallopian tubes will resume normal function after the procedure and close to 40 percent of women conceive as a result of the procedure.
